Anyone going this year?
I will be there Sunday through Thursday, if not more. This will be my fourth year in a row and it is a great week.
I wish I could. I hear Mobile is lovely in January--certainly compared to northern Maine.
Maybe I will try to come down and meet you there, Brian. Got any scoops on good hotel rates?
Im going to try to go. What kind of reception does media get?
The toughest thing about Mobile that week is getting a hotel. I'd suggest looking at a hotel in Daphne, across the bay from Mobile. It's about 10 -12 minutes from downtown Mobile, but at this point there's no chance of getting a hotel room in or adjacent to downtown.
The committee treats everyone well and Steve Hale and his folks should be commended for what they do. Amazingly, they event treat agents like real people - its kind of refreshing.
