Giant boat shows merge, and it's going to be in Louisville Ky next
year. It's about a three hr. drive from me, but it'll be worth the
trip.

Ouch.... 7.5 hrs for me, but it really seems like a lot more
affordable venue. I didn't see a date set.... too early?

Sounds like it might be a great motorcycle ride from DC.

Evident;y so, but I
d think they'd already have it planned out with an exact date.

But !

"The 2009 IBEX show, October 12-14, the last one to be held at Miami
Beach,"

I'd love to hit it, but that's too far for me...

You hop on a plane, you're there in a couple of hours. It's Miami Beach,
a terrific place to visit, especially in October.

Oh yes, I have friends there (Ft. Sauderdale. Homestead) , but it's
bad timing for me, Harry. October will be the start of harvest season
in the Midwest, and I'm going to be the proverbial "swamped" all the
way until December.

I wish they'd have it in February when work slacks off a bit. And it's
cold up here. I'd be glad to go!

That does seem a bit odd to have an Int'l boat show in L'ville, but
then again, there's the crowd from Kentucky Lake and the Ohio river
isn't far, and that leads to all kinds of river travelers etc.

Plus, Id say the vendors are hoping to take orders there for
deliveries in other places.

Beats me why they'd call it International, though.

But I still want to attend.
