[Myka]

I bought a full pass months ago, but I'm not sure if I'll go this year. I've been twice already and I think I'd rather spend money on another diving trip. :D

[WarDog]

I'm going, and super excited! Everthing is booked... countdown is on!

[Dearth]

I wish but due to my medical condition no international travel for a year can't get medical insurance

[Bblinks]

I am going!!!!:drinking::drinking::drinking::surprise:: surprise::surprise::lol::lol::lol::smilecol:

[Myka]

If you guys haven't bought your plane tickets yet Westjet is having a sale right now and it covers the dates of MACNA. The last day for booking is Apr 5th. It saves me about $200.

[Bblinks]

BOOKED!

[WarDog]

BOOKED!

How many days left? :smilecol:

[hunggi74]

Nerds

[hunggi74]

Ok fine, I'M GOING TOO!

[Bblinks]

Can't wait!

[WarDog]

94 days!

[squamishbc]

My home town. Too bad its not in October...

[Bblinks]

My home town. Too bad its not in October...

What's in Octocber?

[squamishbc]

What's in Octocber?

My wife's vacation...lol... We are going to San Diego to visit my family in October, so miss this by about a month....

[Bblinks]

My wife's vacation...lol... We are going to San Diego to visit my family in October, so miss this by about a month....

Darn it.....so close yet so far. :neutral:

[BobFish]

I would like to know if there is someone that is going that isn't going with their family and would like to share a room, as far as cost?

[GoFish]

I would like to know if there is someone that is going that isn't going with their family and would like to share a room, as far as cost?
If no one gets back to you about this there's AirBnB? We don't do hotels anymore unless there aren't any options

[BobFish]

If no one replies i will stay at convention center, have a room with two double beds booked!

[Myka]

If anyone needs a full conference pass, I can sell mine for what I paid. I bought it in September, so I think it was $90 US.

[WarDog]

If no one replies i will stay at convention center, have a room with two double beds booked!

Welcome to what will no doubt be a fun west coasters gong show!

[hunggi74]

Don't know what you're talking about Warren. I will be on my bestest behaviour. I cannot vouch for my other companions though. Especially the guy from Langley...

[Bblinks]

Don't know what you're talking about Warren. I will be on my bestest behaviour. I cannot vouch for my other companions though. Especially the guy from Langley...

That guy is gonna be trouble....Hung, hold me....:mrgreen:

[WarDog]

That guy ain't even gunna make the flight, if he has a flight yet.

[hunggi74]

He has to. I heard drinks at the banquet were on him.

[Ryanerickson]

If that guy from Langley don't get a flight I'll put money on it that he would just drive there

[Bblinks]

If that guy from Langley don't get a flight I'll put money on it that he would just drive there

with you!!! in that case, i hope he doesn't!

[davej]

I'm in!
Rich talked me into it.
Twisted my rubber arm so to speak.
Flight, room and Macna pass all done.
Now the wait!
74 days to go

[Myka]

I'm in!
Rich talked me into it.
Twisted my rubber arm so to speak.
Flight, room and Macna pass all done.
Now the wait!
74 days to go

...And I'm officially not going because Dave has my Pass. :cry: Have a great time! :D

[davej]

We will have at least one drink in your honor Mindy!

[Myka]

We will have at least one drink in your honor Mindy!

It better be a Crown and Coke! ;)

Hey, you guys have the MACNA App right?

[Bblinks]

It better be a Crown and Coke! ;)

Hey, you guys have the MACNA App right?

Not yet but I'll dl it now! THX!

[BobFish]

Well i am done, full pass, flight and room at convention center.......booked.

[BobFish]

Are we meeting up for drinks one night?

[hunggi74]

We can all meet and introduce ourselves at the banquet Friday night? I assume everyone bought full conference passes.

[hunggi74]

If you don't know who is who just look for Bblinks (Rich). He's Mr. Popular and knows everyone and vice versa.

[BobFish]

yeah i'm in....tickets done

[WarDog]

I thought you guys said to avoid Bob at all costs?

Wait... did i say that out loud? :lol:

[BobFish]

Your too funny, just for that your buying the drinks!

[Bblinks]

I thought we are drinking every night.....:mrgreen:

[BobFish]

War Dog better come with full pockets!

[Myka]

Bring some of those orange lens filters so you guys can see the true coral colors through all the Windex. :lol: You'll actually see people running around with these filters looking at the corals because all the vendors use only blue LEDs.

[WarDog]

Only 5 more sleeps until we go to San Diego! As it stands, we've got 10 Canreefers from the West Coast attending, this is going to be epic!

A few of us are registered for the Apex Breakfast thingy, sign up here! (https://www.neptunesystems.com/macna-meetup-2016/)

I'll try to get some pictures up, but I can't promise anything. :drinking: I think a bunch of us are going to try to hit SeaWorld as well.

[Myka]

Wow, 10 of you guys?! That's awesome!

[hunggi74]

No Seaworld. This instead.

Yes, we hit up the local Cheesecake Factory, and I have to say it was pretty amazing!

Starting today with the Apex breakfast, with Mr. Saltwater tank, then off to the exhibit floor for the big show.

[Myka]

Why is it that every conference center in the world has crazy tacky carpet? All of them. :lol:

[Myka]

What is that chalice??

[Myka]

What is that chalice??

I'm gonna guess... "Something Rainbow". :lol:

[kyl]

Was there any buzz on the floor regarding the PE Mysis pellets?

[Bblinks]

No but there was a lot of samples given out!

What an amzing trip with the boys! I had a great time. Will be posting pictures soon!

[Myka]

What about the speakers? Did you guys just run around the banks of corals drooling on pieces you can't import or did you go learn something? :lol:

What did you guys learn at the Aquaforest booth? Are they going to hurry up with a Canadian distributor or what? :D

[hunggi74]

There were speakers there???
We went to the Apex breakfast/meet/Terrence Show. It was good until none of us west coasters got the new Apex grand prize for the draws.
Aquaforest is currently switching distributors as they know we had no access to products except thru Amazon. We should see something in s month or two.
I missed all the other seminars because...its San Diego!
Have to say, $130 full conference pass for macna, reception on Friday at waterfront venue, banquet on Saturday makes this event a great value!

At our usual morning meeting spot

Our "rustic" room. Hotel was definitely lowest point of Macna.

[Reef Supplies]

who was the guy staying across from us in room 2531?

It smelled of pot at 7AM all the way though midnight and he had a very very bad Saturday night. I never heard anyone barf that much, the guy went on for 45 minutes. We actually got out of bed to check on him, we thought he was gonna die.

He tried to heal his hangover the next morning with a joint.

LOL

Really?? We were in room 2510! Just missed you Ray! Heard nothing but our own snores lol

I just checked Travelocity - the rooms are over USD$500 per night. The conference rate of $149 per night sounds a little better. :lol:

I booked too. I booked for this year though, and I didn't go, so booking doesn't really mean anything :lol:

Absolutely. To both :)

We also visited some of the LFS like Aqua SD and Shipwreck Cove. Impressive to say the least. Selection was unbelievable.

One of these years I'd like to go to MACNA but it's always at a bad time for me.

Nice pics Hung! Is that an Olympus TG4 camera? It sure deals with the blue LEDs well, maybe too much.

Next year is 2 weeks earlier than normal. It's actually in August.
