Total Cost for Attending Conference in Wave 2: Airfare, Hotel, and Expenses

[chefkristin]

Ok..So my new full time job was terrible. I am no longer working full time for now. How much including, airfare, hotel, expenses does conference cost?
I am wondering if this is doable for me. I want to mee all in Wave 2 plus I really want to sing Barry Manilow with Carolyn at the piano bar!!! Please let me know how much......

$175 - registration
$100 - hotel ($172/night room, split 4 ways, 2 nights)
$100 - meals not provided

I don't know about travel arrangements, home office tour or additional spending money. That would need to be figured in as well.

You should be able to find a Southwest airline flight for a little over $100 roundtrip.

I know it doesn't help you much for this year but I did it last year and this year and I love it, sign up for Conference Club...that way a little is taken out each month and when conference rolls around you don't have to worry about the registration fee because it is already paid for. I recommend it to everyone who doesn't always have alot of extra $ laying around and then the cost of the whole conference doesn't feel so bad...I definately recommend going though it is great for your business and momentum!

And, if you wind up not being able to go to NC, you get it back. Nothing lost.

Barry is so cool! My Mom and her best friend (she's like a second mom to me, especially since my Mom passed away in June... ) always used to listen to him when we were growing up. We made fun of them then, but now I love him!

Krissy,

Not only have you stumbled across A great PC loop - we are also an "Unofficial" Barry Fan Club!

So sing it Girl!

Sorry, Kristin, didn't mean to continue to hijack your thread....

Crystal narrowed it down pretty well...the transportation thing is different for everyone depending upon where you live!

We are about 6 hours away, so there's 4 of us carpooling together. So far, we are staying at the Hilton with 2 bathrooms, so it will actually be about $150 for me ($600 total with taxes split 4 ways) for my hotel room. My Director is still looking for a room that could save us each money. I still want a room with 2 Bathrooms though!

HO tour is $25 if you want to go (I would HIGHLY reccommend this!!!)

I was driving to my PT day job the other day listening VERY Loudly to "I can't smile without you" and this woman on the sidewalk waiting for the bus starting singing it to very dramatically...it was pretty funny.
My mom and aunt(from NH) used to listen to his albums every time they would visit..I used to hide it from them and now he's a fav...even say him in concert 2 or 3 times...

We are staying at the Hilton also...I haven't registered yet, I am holding out to see if I promote by the end of May....last year I didn't take the HO tour. are any of you taking it this year?

I am a die-hard. I have seen him, I think, like 9 times now? Maybe more.
First row twice...he's an awesome showman!

I signed up for the HO tour! 7:00 AM for me!

Krissy- you were asking about meeting up: I'll PM you my schedule...let me know if we are in any "classes" together!

Awe Carolyn!!! I wanna go now. I did do Conference club and I have conference itself paid for. It is the plane ticket and the hotel and spending that is concerning me.
