I love when this subject comes up, every year for the last three years I've been on these lists. It doesn't matter where the Nationals are to me. With the exception of Ohio, which I was totally screwed because of unexpected financial issues, I will never be close enough to attend properly. I am a teacher, and October/Nov. is the time we take state tests, and I could never leave my students for 2-3 days. I can't take that kind of time off so early in the school year either. So I could only attend on Saturday, I have responsibilities on Sundays. Can't drive home and back in that small amount of time. What would be really cool, would be to have Nationals in July or August before school starts. I'm off, and I could drive all over creation. Since that's not going to happen, I don't worry about where it's going to be located every year. I don't worry about cost because I have a whole year to plan. I think I'll aim for 2011. I'll get there before my dog is too old to complete. Eventully. Denise W.
