So pleased to see your effective descriptions of the Convention and with great pictures. The visual sight of just how many folk didn't make it was a vivid reminder of just how sad it was for all the disappointed ones.
I doubt it was so many who were prevented from coming to last year's convention in NZ thanks to the credit crunch/depression but I know how disappointing these things are for the organisers as well as for those who missed out.

Makes me really keen to join you all in 2011.

Yes! :):):) We had to sprint to make our connection in Zurich (45 minutes just is not enough time) but we made it. Finally.
