    Who all is going/considering going to MACNA 2012 in Dallas?
    I would like to go but I'm still on the fence.   It will probably depend on how much stuff I have going on at work during September.

    All of the above plus education and socialization/interaction with other reefers from all over the world.

    If I end up going this year, it will be my 3rd straight MACNA, but the first that I actually get to take the time to enjoy.

    I'm leaning towards going, especially since we have quite a few others from the club who will be there.

    If I do go, I'll probably drive to OKC on Thursday and then drive the rest of the way to Dallas early Friday AM. I'll probably drive back to OKC after the show ends on Sunday, then back the rest of the way on Monday.

    I thought Aaron was going......Craig is too I think. There are so many things to do around Dallas and its only a couple hours drive to the OCEAN! Driving would be convenient if you were buying a lot.

    well my wife can no longer go so i will have one ticket for sale for sure maybe two because i may or may not go depending on if i can find someone to split gas money and hotel fees with me i already have a room reserved for thursday friday and sat i originally planed on leaving with the family wed afternoon driving straight through seeing the aquarium tursday morning/afternoon then checking into the hotel and leaving sunday after MACNA and driving straight through. so if anyone is interested in a MACNA ticket half price and splitting gas money and hotel fees let me know otherwise I will be selling both tickets for the price of one

    oh we can use my wifes brand new mini van so lots of storage to haul bags and a cooler with water/ heater/ airstone for corals it also has a trailer hitch incase we win something big in the raffle we can rent a trailer and haul it back

    Are you still trying to sell a ticket? I'm trying to go, but I don't have a ticket or a place to stay yet. I'd be willing to split hotel with you if you're staying at the conference center. I'm flying in though, so I can't help with gas =(
