G'day A, wrt only me...... I went, I saw, and I conquered. May end up doing business with the very first person on a stand I stopped to talk to. So for me on this occasion, it was well worth it. I did the exhibition part in just over an hour as I dont need to stop to view sundry barista comps etc. Also I didnt do any of the workshops, and I am ruthless in the way I start at one end and go up and down and only stop for things I need to look at. I stop to talk to those that I know but budget no more than a few minutes with each with a polite nod when I need to move on. Well you do (need to move on) when you have a plane to catch. That makes you very keen to do your stuff and stick to the plan. Flying is ever so much better than spending up to 8 hours in the car on the one day, fighting traffic at the Sydney end and trying to find parking. So for me, well worth it this year, extra expense of flying accepted. Anyone else?
