It is my  understanding that you have to drive from ATL to Perry.  How long 
is that  drive?




It is about two hours. I hated the drive back and the Atlanta airport was a 
 mess to get in and out of. I remember one year when I saw Cappy and Gloria 
at  the curb with eight dog crates.
 
I guess this year we fly into Kansas City and drive to Topeka.  I have  no 
idea how far that is.  Most of the nationals have included a drive and a  
rental car or van.  Now you can rent a mini-van with seats that go into the  
floor. I remember leaving the rear seat at the airport, but they don't allow  
that any more.
 
I always figure a drive for the national. Be it two hours, or only an hour  
and a half. 
 
The key is being able to fly there with a dog.  I had decided to never  
bring a dog to a national again. But, here we are bringing a dog.
 
I don't care about the footing, so long as every other dog has to run on  
the same thing. I don't care about the location so long as my dog can fly in  
without changing planes.   I don't care who won the elections, or who  is 
on the board.   I don't care about the prizes, the temperature, the  weather, 
the venue, or the judges, (that may be a shock).  
 
 What I care about is my friends, the strangers I will meet, the dogs  I 
will see, and the memories I will come home with.
 
As a bonus, I won't have to do law stuff for a week.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
