Hey Guys,
While I'm not taking away from anyone's experience. I also feel the crunch
as well. Remember, I'm the handler who has to put all expenses UPFRONT and
hope I get them back in a timely manner before the Visa statements arrive! I
feel the gas crunch, the rise in food, the cost of help and booking flights
and hotels, rentals, etc.
I can say I was very pleased to see the wheaten national in Sacramento this
year. Imagine, my own bed, no hotel cost, expenses were minimal and it
really took a load off the CC that month!
Mike
