There seems to be a lot more interest in the ICS in the Czech Republic next summer. Seven years ago, there were only three Austin cavers who went to the one in Greece, but there are already fifteen of us in Austin who are talking about going. Maybe it's because we got fired up while helping with the ICS in Kerrville three years ago. A better reason is that the word is out that the Czech ICS seems to be a lot better organized than the Greek one. Another factor is that the Dollar is strong right now compared with European currencies, which keeps the cost down for us. There is no rush to register before the end of January, unless you want to register for a pre or post Congress excursion.(These range from caving and camping, to touristing and hoteling, and are a big part of many people's Congress experience). The best excursions may fill up early. If you know you are going, now is not to early to sign up for them. One couple in the group I mentioned, signed up for the trip they wanted, (Ice caver of Austria) on opening day of registration, August 1st, to be sure.
