Yeah, I'm w/ Ed on this one. We bid our vacation dates because that's when we were told the event was being held. Now, it sounds as though that might not be the case; and you're still looking into 'other' possibilities.
I understand you're trying to work out the costs; but when you go throwing wrenches into the mix like this it makes it difficult for those who bid on vacation a year in advance to plan accordingly. With that said, any idea when you're going to have the dates finalized? Sorry for asking; but this is the same thing that happened last year....although the dates held up. Granted, I wasn't able to attend due to extenuating circumstances....but I did purposely bid vacation over NJC'09 dates that were established the year prior.
Also, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, because I'm not. I realize you both put a ton of work into this event and it's sounds as though this year is taking another big leap forward. However, it is really frustrating when, in Oct., you say 'next year's NJC is going be on......', so we bid those days off. Then months later, you come back and say, no NJC's not necessarily those days, we're still looking into it. :banghead:
Does this make any sense or am I just rambling? I've been going crazy for the past week on top of being sick for the past two weeks......so it's quite possible I'm just losing it. :laff:
Thanks for all you guys do for the JC community! :beer:
What's the plan, you ask?
