oh, thanks for the reminder to let my credit card co know I'll be traveling--especially since I didn't charge the plane tickets on it! comfy shoes--Always! Good idea with bringing a tote bag too, since I won't be taking any classes--you often get a freebie tote in long arm classes.
the post about heavy rain and the flooding streets made me wonder---is the end of Oct out of hurricane season down there?

We've been there 4-5 times (can't remember ) and have never had any problem with flooding or hurricanes. I'm from Washington State, I go with my friend Cindi who came first from Michigan and now Ohio, and it was delightfully warm for both of us, albeit a bit humid. We bring shorts, tanks, a sweater for evenings, and comfy walking shoes. And a backpack, which is a lot more comfortable to carry than a shoulder bag.

Quilt Fest comes right at the end of hurricane season. I believe it ends mid-Nov, but I've been going to Quilt Fest for 20+ years and have never seen a hurricane or any heavy rains during Quilt Fest. The weather can be iffy. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold. But you probably won't be out in it enough for it to matter especially if you stay downtown.

Sorry, I don't have any advice, but I have a request for you:
Please let us know what your experience was like when you get back from the show. What was your favorite part? Did you enjoy the lecture and your class? What quilty treasures did you bring back if any. I hope you have a grand time enjoying your birthday present.
