I went to Conference my first three years and have to miss it this time. I don't have any vacation left. I'll definatly miss it and the great people I get to meet each time. My only advice to everyone is to break away from your cluster mates whenever you can and listen to the advise from everyone else. You can be with your cluster anytime. I got my best wedding registry advice from a Director from Florida riding back to the hotel on the shuttle bus.
 
And what was that advice?
 
Aww, Bobby, I'll miss meeting you in person. I understand about not having vacation time, though. Hope it works out better for you next year.
 
We'll miss you, Bobby. I hope you'll be able to join us again next year. Great advice.

It had to do with the information you get from the wedding planners. Don't just get the bride and groom's info. Find out who's planning the wedding and shower and keep in touch with them also.
 
Thanks for sharing
 
Gonna miss you Bobby!
