which conference are you in this year? Last night at the New Consultant's training at Lori's a few were talking about Conf 2 and taking the Mega Bus (hospitality of Julie's and Hugo and his wife because they are attending the Hispanic Conference).
 
Bummer! There are a few of us that are driving from the St Cloud area, but our cluster is in wave 2!!
