I couldn't agree with you more. Had a conversation w/ someone the other day telling me how great Philly was to fly into/from. Ummmmm....no. I am an hour from Philly and 2 hours from Newark and prefer Newark. Why? 24 hour cargo. Philly closes at 9 PM. Plane is late...bad weather? You're screwed. Plus Newark is a hub for Continental/United, lot of direct non-stops. I said this in the beginning though...

Just ask the airline about flying a dog in a # 500 crate when you are booking your own flight. It's pretty simple. If someone on the Board is flying in to check out a site from Florida, or California or Oregon or Texas....they SHOULD KNOW what problems the membership will be facing when they try to get to that site WITH A DOG! We had one Board meeting scheduled for a gorgeous possible site in Ft. Lauderdale Florida at one meeting. It was SUPER expensive for the Board to fly into and almost impossible to get there with a dog when I tried to book my flight in from California. The Board listened and nixed the site. You really need to experience it!! Of course it is a shame. There are quite a few of us that would LOVE to show our dogs under the Specials Judge this year or in the Classes or see the World Trials or enjoy the Grand Celebration. It is really frustrating to have to buy a #700 crate and pay almost $1,000 just to get your dog there!! AND....in many airports it cannot be done anyway!! THE BOARD MUST SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM!! Again..........It's NOT COMPLICATED. Worrying about extra classes for Long coats and changing established Awards and the Standard is complicated.....<G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com ----- I do understand the great distances one must travel from the West Coast and I do understand the economical considerations that affect all of us BUT I doubt if any of us will be here for the next 100 years and to miss the grand celebration that has been planned by Nancy and the committee is really a shame as I am sure it would be greatly enjoyed.
