2010 HydroAssoc Conference
Mar. 23rd, 2010 11:41 pmWe registered for the conference itself a while ago. This evening, after much convincing the hotel website I only wanted to book *one* set of rooms, not two, the hotel is finally taken care of. Free parking, so if we decide to shell out the bucks for a rental car for three days, at least there won't be that additional expense.

Hubby's waiting to see if we can manage to pull off two free round trip airline tix based on his miles.
Each conference, I keep hoping to see the same people (the ones I actually liked meeting). Seems like the only repeaters, besides myself and hubby, are the people who totally rub me the wrong way, for various reasons. Each conference, I keep telling myself not to go to the "peer group" sessions, and I end up going anyway. I keep hoping the next conference's chairs will have learned from the last conference's errors, but it seems not to be. Yet, hope springs eternal. And it's also kinda starting to get to the point we're getting less out of it. I understand wanting to have the same core group of sessions, for the people who are attending for the first time. But it'd be nice if they had just a leeeeetle more variety, for those of us who enjoy coming back every year to meet new people.
Oh well. As I said, hope springs eternal. Wish us luck :-)
