I plan on going to 1 or maybe 2 shows this coming year. My biggest deterent is the distance to the shows - here in the southwest, the distances are over a hundred miles for any large city, where most of the big shows are produced. We're in Carlsbad, NM and the closest city is El Paso, TX. With the gas prices so high and with being retired and on social security, the price can get pretty steep, especially eating out for at least two people! Also, we can't afford to stay overnight, so, after walking around a show, we still have to drive 100 - 150 miles back home in one day! I'm sure that many folks have these same problems!
