What is the best way to find the cheapest flight via the internet?
I figure the sooner the better and we are getting close to 2 months away.

Ive decided to flyin to this year's convention.

I have found the best way is to compare each airline if you are just looking for tickets. For anyone who plans on flying in Dallas Love will be a little closer than DFW, just FYI

Okay I just picked up some big sponsors to donate items for the Auction as well as door prizes. They include Cabelas, Bass-pro Shops, Gander Mountain, Wulf Outdoors, Aquatic Eco-systems, Dr. Fosters & Smith, and also Shakespeare Rod & Reel. Anyones mouth watering yet? So we will have lots to choose from.

I won't be attending the convention this year, but I will be sending down some nifty auction items, including a copy of FISH CONSERVATION by Gene Helfman, and a "Save the Darter" t-shirt, a replica of the very same t-shirt activists wore in the 1970s during the Snail Darter vs. TVA imbroglio.

I also won't be able to make it this year since it falls during a busy time at my work, but I would really like that shirt. Maybe an online auction would work for it???

We will have all the chips, salsa, and queso you can handle. Trying to persuade him to give us some guacamole, so we will see. So if you eat queso like i do bring you own shovel.

I am working on a schedule of presentations, but had one speaker cancel. So I am trying to update that and hopefully post it by the end of the week.

It seems to me that a family trip is considered to be a legitimate excuse. Check with your school. You shouldn't be a slave to the school.
Not only a Family trip but one of Educational Value. Very Ecucational. I would think a reasonable school would let you off for such an ocasion. And Killier I will PM you with a travel offer.

Was wandering who would mind helping with a few things at the conference. Such as setting at the registration table, helping set up raffle items, a few other things like that. Please email me and let me know, and I will let you know how you could help. We will see y'all soon!!!

give me another job if you wish wayne our texan host. i could be a chili tester, a money taker, fish scaler, name badge writer or t-shirt stretcher.
2 weeks, 2 days before departure! gotta pack my bag and carry-on backpack and make them security check proof. if a live fish is in plastic bottle surely they would assume it is not an explosive liquid? bad joke, i saw a british demo of tang colored liquid blowing a big hole.
nonetheless im excited about this trip and i just got back from 4 days in sc and north ga snorkeling and cooking redhorse with fresh oysters, apples and peaches. a good year. new fishes.

Talked to Dr. Booner yesterday and he is excited to come and talk to us. He might be there Friday night at the social if time permits. He is going to dontate 2 books with all the authors autographs, and will be selling extra copies for people who want them and dont win the auction ones.
The weather is cooling off a bit thanks to the hurricanes, but have no fear Ike is just a tike and the show will go on. I dont board up for anything under a 5, so a 3 just means PARTY!!!!
So places are being scouted, weahter being watched, trash talk is being talked, and the excitment is building. The only thing that is missing is all of y'all, so see y'all in a few weeks.
