Any news on the why?  Four hours round is a bit much for just a whim. ;)

I'm afraid we are missing a crucial name of the meeting.  ;D  It says annual...  Annual what? But it is the closest to me, so would love more details.  Wait--in March? I might be insane to travel during the March snowstorms! LOL  I'll jump to Shannon's page, maybe she's put more information in there.

My husband and I will be there with our son. ;D We've been planning on going, but in a realistic fashion didn't finalize it until last night. lol
It may be an eight to nine hour road trip, but I'm sure it will be worth it!

Gas for an 8 hour road trip: $130.
Food: $40
Book for signing: $30.

The look on Jim's face when he realizes your entire family drove 8 hours to meet him for 37 seconds.  Priceless.

Only thing you forgot were the hotel expenses, but that's just about right. :)

That WOULD be pretty embarrassing to get out there and forget the book.
Ah hotel rooms, yeah, so 16 hour round trip?

Yep; plus we're going to take our time and have a vacation at the same time. My husband grew up around there and he's also talking about taking me up to Chicago (never been that far north/never been to that big of a city). It's going to be an interesting time.
