    Anyone planning to go to MACNA 2014 in Denver??? I've been thinking that I'd like to go, but don't want to do it solo.

    we have full pass tickets already, but just found out we may not be able to go, as we may be in Texas then. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif If we find out we still get to go though, I can't wait for this year. We are driving. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    We are going (driving)j. As Jazzybio13 noted on the other thread the hotel space is filling up. We made reservations last night and the mountain view rooms were already sold out for Friday &pin Saturday nights.

    Lesson learned last year

    Book your hotel rooms now, even if you are not sure you are going to go. They dont charge your card. If you end up not going, call and cancel and you are out nothing. Otherwise you may end up in a hotel a couple blocks away.

    There are a lot of hotels in Colorado springs and surrounding areas you can stay just keep that in mind too . These places are a hour or so away, but would work.

    Just finished registering for MACNA. Yeah......


    Booked a room at the Hyatt Regency. Just to get an idea - are people planning to stay Sunday night also - or start driving back late Sunday after the raffle - and then getting a room half-way back to Des Moines??
