I have the same questions Joe does about FSGW membership fee, etc.

Still deciding whether I can/should go this year. Family matters are calling me to be in San Diego as much as possible in the next few months, economic necessity is calling me to be in Seattle, and asset management stuff is telling me to stay home in Portland.   So I'm inclined to put off Getaway for yet another year, but I just don't know yet.

If I do go, I'm still wondering which airport to try to fly into and out of and whether to arrive just before the gathering starts and leave immediately afterwards or extend the trip by a day or two and try to do more while there than just go to the Gathering.   I can use any advice anyone has.
