Because of the higher prices in food and gas, it's a no go for me. Just can't justify it. I do have all of Cathe's DVD's and equipment to last a life time. But as she continues to make new workouts I'll purchase them in a second along with new equipment.

Jacque - I'm not trying to talk you into anything but..., here's what it actually cost me last year (I'm from PA too and drove):
Registration and all meals and transportation in NJ: $250
Hotel Room: Approx. $125 - I bunked with 1 other person which split the cost in half (breakfast is included)
1 tank of gas: $40
Total: $415.00 - still a good chunk of change, but not quite as bad as $600.
Now I did buy 2 shirts and a hat, but that was all extra stuff that I didn't have to get. The price really jumps up for people flying in. I probably wouldn't be able to go either if I had to do that.

Hey Liann,
You are right that is not nearly as bad as 600. I just did some quick guessing in my head and actually had no idea what it cost me last year. I think it maybe was a little more for me then it was for you because I did not room with anyone. I also drive a honda civic so it may not even cost me one tank of gas to go down. Ahhhhh the little devil is growing bigger and louder. }(

I can't afford it but since I have decided that I am spending my money on sending my girls to London, UK, to visit their family for a month, I am not sad. You decide where you need to spend your money and then once the decision is made, that's it, you don't think about it anymore.
I don't feel miserable. You spend a certain amount on yourself (STS for me) and a certain amount on family members (plane tickets) and that's fair.
Maybe I just don't feel the misery because I know that these road trips just don't suit my personality anyway. I'm going to be hiking and backpacking in the Wind River range in Wyoming while some of you guys are on the road trip. Sorry, but I won't be missing it!
