So I'm actually still trying to decide whether to go mostly based on the boyfriend's work schedule. We have already told family that we'd like to stay with them so as long as boy can get vacation *fingers crossed* Thanks so much for this list, I've been stressing a bit over this ;-)
ReplyDeleteI SO WANT TO GO AGAIN!! I've had such a great time the past two years...but it all depends on if my boss will let me get away. Looking forward to reading the series!
ReplyDeleteWOOT so excited to go back!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun series you have planned! I was thinking of not going this year, but I can't stay away. I'd miss seeing my friends too much. And I love the spectacle.
ReplyDeleteI love these post and I'll be checking for the BEA Blitz for sure :)
ReplyDeleteYou are getting an early start on BEA my friend! So looking forward to another year. *happy dance*
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! I am hoping to go to to BEA for the first time this year and I cannot wait! It sounds SO amazing. Looking forward to learning more. :)
