The weather made it hectic. I have to say I am glad to say I was flying the southern route to Dallas. Cancellations to the north. Planes full and over booked. One flight was over booked 9 passengers.
Thankful to be here and meet friends. Ivan Carter, Karl Evans and wife, Rebecca, Jonathon Hume.

See many of you soon.

Mike

Damn Yankees are the ones that come here & stay, Mike WILL go home, eventually!
I woke up this morning in a foul mood, finally figured out why, I'M NOT IN DALLAS! But I will be there Sat & Sun.
I won't make the same mistake next year. I'm going to book my room at the Omni while there this weekend for the whole shindig.

My wife is a Lafayette Cajun,(Acadiana) and they say the people in North Louisiana ARE YANKIES!

With the way the airports have been the last few days, consider yourself lucky to have made it. I have traveled since Sunday. EVERYTHING was delayed everywhere we went.

You did well. I had my flights cancelled and couldn't have made it out by Saturday or later. It would have been my first time at DSC and both I & my son are very disappointed.

HAHA! You must also know what we call them.

I was just told there are many still arriving. DSC will be assisting them. Making late setups as easy as possible.

IN a few hours it is amazing how the floor goes from mad scrambling to organization and operational.

DSC is good like that. Will see you there Mike.

Leaving Thursday for a solo mission. Look forward to seeing this for the first time and meeting some of the guys that helped me two years ago on my safari.

Leaving tomorrow morning, will be in Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Looking forward to my first DSC event.

10 hour drive from Tennessee is complete. Minus some freezing rain all went well...See you guys tomorrow and save travels to all.

HEAVY Fog this AM...flights might be delayed today....at least slow for IFR spacing...
Weatherby Awards were GREAT last night...Alain Smith from Woodinville Wa was the winner....he only hunted 279 days last year....nice girlfriend that tolerates it!!
See Y'ALL there.
Cheers,

Sitting in the Delta lounge in Atlanta waiting on the Dallas flight.

I know guys are still arriving DSC. Travel this year has been a nightmare.

Mike

Mike,
YOU got that right, FOG....but we arrived a day early for Weatherby Awards...I think I saw you in the corridors headed in last night??

I could NOT find the AR Hospitality room...and nobody, as helpful as they are, could direct me there. Can you tell me where the AR Hospitality room is and I will be there tomorrow at 2:30!!

Anybody driving out to the Dinner tomorrow night from Adolphus Hotel?? Would like a ride or will split the Taxi round trip!!

FYI, DON"T stay at Adolphus!! Nice old Hotel but food services in restaurant SUCKS big time...they are OVERWHELMED!..1:30 waiting for dinner in Rodeo Restaurant tonight...left, OVER an hour for a Hamburger from Room Service....NO MANAGEMENT on duty to guide and direct either!!

Hope to see you tomorrow....smiling!!

Cheers
