Swarovski is having a trade show in Tucson the first week of February, that I'm seriously considering attending. That two week period is huge for bead-related activites anyway--five major shows, plus the Swarovski thing, so I figure it'd be interesting/fun to go down there for a week. A few extra days to go to some of the other shows, to see what's down there.
The Swarovski portion is four and a half days, held at the Omni Golf Resort and Spa, so I know it's going to be expensive, and I'm hoping that the trade show people will either be able to get a (really goddamn good) group rate or be able to make recommendations about where else to stay. Just for laughs, though, I checked the Omni website today to check for availability and cost.
Holy shit, almost $350 a night. So, for seven nights, that's...uh. Way more than I want to spend on a hotel to go to bead shows, thanks. I'll just look into other options--preferably before registration for these classes, because if I can't find anything cheaper than that, then there is no trip to Tucson for me.
Ow. $350 a night. Jesus. For that, I should get a toilet that'll wipe my ass for me, and a massage every night. :)
