John has kindly helped me with some math. We are looking at $325 per person for travel and accomodations - if we drive. Plus the DefCon entrance fee, food, and whatever else you feel you might want to spend money on. This is based on the assumption that 4 people are going. More means even less per person...
We currently have two confirmed, and one possible. Preference will go to the first to cover their share of the travel expenses. :) Shawn Shawn wrote: > We'll need to know real soon who is going, and if we are buying airline > tickets or not.
