I'd be glad to help Huey.

As for myself I'd have to say I only have one consideration. If it could start around some long weekend, a holiday or something it might help. I own a company and it's tough to get away without an excuse to the customers. I can close for inventory for a week or something. Only a consideration if it works for others too, I would personanly prefer to travel outside of the holidays....

2002 sounds good to me, what time of year is it the nicest in Texas ?

Sounds like it might be worth renting a van at the local airport and picking everyone up on the same day. I don't mind coordinating that with those who will be flying in.
