I am registered to attend a weekend frequent traveler conference in Chicago organized by the Frugal Travel Guy. Here is the link to register if you are interested in attending. The cost is $75 and includes lunch both days. Registration Link I missed this event last year because I was in Paris. It was a big turnout with about 500 in attendance. This year I will have to miss different conference in San Francisco that I was planning to attend. There always seems to be two events at the same time in my life, but I love having choices.

I am looking forward to spending the weekend with so many others with a passion for traveling well and saving money at the same time. If you do decide to attend let me know and I will make plans to meet you there. During all of the seminars I plan to take notes and share some of the information in this blog.
