I have no problem with my yearly membership to WISPA. I think it is worth every penny. I am also one of those who has no interest in Vegas and who pestered Rick for another Mid-West show like St. Louis. (Thanks, Rick!! And for the next non-Vegas conference, let's be thinking AL,AR,MS,OK,TN,TX. After all, Vegas as anchor pretty much covers the west.) But, I can't justify $126+tax for a room I'll be in 9-10 hours a day, and asleep most of that! And that extra $250 is, well, $250. I can think of a lot of things I'd rather spend $250 on than a room to sleep in. Maybe it is just a different way of looking at things. When we go out on vacation, most of the time we are in Motel 6 or Super 8. We drive and look at things and stop where ever things look interesting. Technically, this is work. I'm less likely to spend more on a motel for work than for play! And I am not complaining... I was just looking to see if I was alone... Seems not. -- On 2/9/2013 12:45 AM, Joel White wrote: Or you could look at the advantages of staying on location, supporting WISPA that went out of their way to get a location that would support the conference yet be affordable to the 500 mile radius that a majority of the WISPS are in. Or just accept that no matter what you do you can never satisfy everyone. Remember that any conference needs volume to get a reduced rate. Stay elsewhere and the numbers go down. Jmo.

To me, $126 a nite +tax is a LOT for a motel room. Especially when I can find places within 4 miles for less than $50 a nite + tax. I can't believe that parking or a taxi will cost more than $75 a day... Maybe I'm just cheap, but the only time I've ever paid more than $69 a night was for a special weekend away. -- West Michigan Wireless ISP Allegan, Michigan 49010 269-686-8648<tel:269-686-8648> A Division of: Camp Communication Services, INC ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless ________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
