I am responding to Bev's questions and some of Veronics's observations.
 
I was 40 when I went to my first convention in Bethesda.  My kids were old 
enough to take care of themselves and that was my only week of vacation for the 
year (Scrooge for a boss). My family was very supportive.  Since then I have 
changed jobs, get more vacation and have a little more disposable income and 
have attended 4 IOLI conventions.  Can't attend this year, youngest child 
graduating and going off to school, no disposable income.  Will be attending 
next years.  
 
Veronica, your comment about the day off in the middle.  I used to agree with 
you on that.  I wanted as much lace time as I could get!!  You will find that 
you are so immersed in lace for that whole time that you need that time to 
regroup.  You are up early, stay up until all hours of the night doing homework 
or gabbing, there are night programs that you must see, IOLI meetings to 
attend.  Your mental capacity is stretched.  Take advantage of that time to 
rest or regroup then come Thursday you appreciate your lace class a little 
more. 
 
I envy all that are attending this year make sure you check in when you return 
to let us know how it went.
