At first I was very excited about maybe attending my first convention. I've been in aviation all my life but ALWAYS have been an armchair MRR. For almost 35 years I've dreamt of someday building a nice size dream layout. Well taht dream is about to come true. The 14 x 28 room is almost done. Unfortuantely my son will be leaving home for college in a year. My big regret I did not start this sooner for him. Tears me up. But when he comes home it will be there for him. However , I had considered maybe taking him and I and possibly my wife and daughter to the convention in PHL. The girls could go shop and hang out while we attended stuff and went on tours. Or they could tag along. But when I seen tour prices were 4-70$ I couldn't belieive it. Is that per person?? I could not afford to drop 100-200$ a tour. Is there any way a family could attend this affordably and have a good time? I assume you could alos eat out on your own instead of paying for the banquet meals or is that a big function at the convention? Kinda disappointed !! Seems liie this is not really cost minded for family entertainment. Looked like fun.
