That sounds like a lot of fun. And I agree - don't wait to go anywhere if you don't have to. When my DH & I retired we traveled like crazy because too many of our friends waited and now have health issues and don't want to go anywhere. And my parents waited to take the Alaskan cruise they wanted, and my dad died suddenly and my mom wouldn't go. I tried to talk her into going with me and my sisters, but she wouldn't budge.
I went to Sisters OR many years ago and loved it. I love to go to the Road to CA show in Ontario, CA. And went to Hamilton MO a few years back because I was in Kansas City and wasn't sure when the opportunity would present itself again. (I went alone and was so glad I did. No one was telling me to hurry, or they wanted to go somewhere else, it was just me with all those wonderful fabric stores.)

I seldom go with anyone to a big quilt show. I like to do what I want to do at the show without compromise. The trip to Branson will be with two other quilters because the hotels were booked so I got a condo rented and it was a shame to have all that room go to waste. The condo was cheaper then the hotel would be.
