Pacific International Quilt Festival XXIII - Oct 16-19
I know, it's a ways off, but I've never been to this show and I was wondering if anyone else has and what to expect. I'm trying to decide if I need to bump another engagement during that time in order to go. Input please...thanks.

It's a big show held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Lots of women book hotel rooms and stay for a night or two, especially if doing workshops and there are quite a few of those. I'm only about 35 minutes south so go with a gf for a long day and always leave exhausted, overstimulated and happy. Love seeing so many quilts and from distant lands. Oh and lots of vendors to enjoy. Always find something I need (wink) or want. We look forward to going every year, at least ten years now. Don't know what your other choice is but this one is a winner!

This is really a neat show and worth seeing. If you are on the Mendocino Coast you'd really need to stay one night for otherwise you'd be too tired to drive home. It's a great show and I think you'd be glad you went.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think I'll go! Yeah...I'll definitely need a hotel. I could stay with my son in Berkeley, but that's too far away too. I hate staying in those generic, business hotels. Does anyone have any hotel suggestions? I'm looking for charm and character...and safety.

Thanks, Sewnoma...I'll check out the Hilton. I don't love the corporate hotel thing, but SAFE is a big priority for me. I'm pretty brave, for the most part, but I've had some scary things happen while traveling alone in the past and I definitely want to feel secure and protected.
