For those that are coming later to the event, I have sent out some more contact info to you as well. Also if you are coming later, you can look for a larger crowd (in a larger crowd inside the venue as well - lol). We will do our best to try and meet with everyone at this event.

Hope to see ya there!

Cheers,

Mike

Pre-purchased Tickets (I have some available)

Aug 6th – Note: I have pre-purchased a total of 5 VIP double passes off the Travel Zoo website (2 passes are already taken – so still room for 6 more people). If you would like to be included in one of these passes, the cost is $27.00 per person (this includes taxes, service fees and the $1.00 for DSN). **You will need to contact me (via email not by posting comments) to make arrangements for payment. DO NOT EMAIL THE DSN WEBSITE (this email goes to David R, not to me). You must go to my profile and email from there and please make sure that you include your email *Do not hide your email address - otherwise it is difficult to email you back.

*I will not be holding these tickets without payment ! Once all the tickets are taken, I will post that they are sold on the website.

Have a great week everyone.
