I'm doing this on my own, just so you know. This has absolutely nothing to do with any organizations that you or I might be
familiar with. I just had this idea. While reading a lot of posts on the subject of seminars and
where they are held, I realized that you, the attendees, had no say in the matter! I also realize that I am reaching a very small
percentage of you, compared to the total number of both PCT guys and ADC guys in our field, but I need to start somewhere. Which
months suit you best? Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. And where would you like to go? ( C,mon, we all want a seminar to be held in our
backyard, but other than that: ) "Vegas; we need the change of pace." "A Caribbean cruise; what the heck, it's deductible."
"Hawaii, I'll never get there any other way!" And the list goes on and on. Tell me what you think, either publicly or privately,
it doesn't matter. Since this is my post, no one will ever know and if anyone recommends the Islamic States for our next seminar,
I can finally take advantage of my Concealed Carry Permit!

Does that limit us to concealed carry friendly states, Wink?
I think Feb or March would be good. Stay away from Thanksgiving and Christmas, and give people a chance to recover their finances a month or two after. If done in Feb, how about a warmer state? Tennessee? Texas?

I just figure we miss all of the summer working. The only place that is like summer in the winter...is very south Florida. Naples...Miami...Keys. Otherwise, you are talking Caribbean to Hawaii.
Wife doesn't care about bass season. But, sun shine is a draw.

I think Jan. Feb. and it should be 2.5 days if you travel a long distance there is a lot more that goes on besides the class room. Two days you have people leaving early or staying over with the other unlucky ones because they couldn't fly out until the next day. The center of the eastern half of the U.S. has the largest pop. for driving distance. Las Vegas probably has the best flights and is a great place to hang out if you don't gamble. The summer might be a good choice and have it near the Great Lakes. Great beaches without salt or sharks and you could take a deductible trip with the whole family all the way down to the third generation. You could add several days on to the beginning or the end. That might make it worth being gone during a pretty busy time because they are who we are working our off. When you get older you and your kids appreciate the most valuable thing you gave them..TIME. You have to figure out a way of working less. Don't give your time away topeople who don't love you. Makem pay for it and give it to who you want. Off subject sorry I'll think a little more and get back.

It was the same way here Jim. Started at 5 or so yesterday. All the kids trick or treating looked more or less like bank robbers. Wind blew about 30 sustained it was miserable especially since it was 80 on Monday.
it is not a stupid question if you do not know the answer

I also had hoped to go to the WCT but I have so many jobs going right now I didn't feel like it was the most responsible thing to do. I had hoped to take the kids out candy begging but ma nature had different plans. So like every night this week I just worked. I haven't been home before 10 any night this week. I even had to listen to the World Series on AM radio.

Would it be possible to put on the same seminars or training in different areas? Many of us are not rolling in the cash or even work a regular full-time job, but could do a weekend thats within driving distance. Purely out of selfish motives...COME TO MICHIGAN!!

Well Paul , you wanted to know how i got on at the pesttech? Early start, up at 5 15am, left home at 6, three and a half hours drive, got there and registered, looked round 4 times, i had a crack with a couple of lads that i know then set off back home at 1.30. The best thing that i saw was a new type of mouse trap, which looked pretty good until i asked the price, £45 came the reply, not for me i said. It was a long way to go, but if you only had to travel a hour or so it would have been worth it. I came home with loads of catalogs and abuot 20 free pens
