I was fortunate enough to be able to go for 4 years. I loved it! I was on a tour so I didn't have to worry about where to stay etc. I will tell you a couple of things. Wear good shoes and call your credit card companies to let them know there could be some out of country/state charges. I lost count of how many times I heard people say their credit cards had been frozen and were in a panic at the show. The vendors are amazing! Have fun.
