Exactly Peter, there are many historic places to go in West Virginia, they may not have the theme parks you want to go to, but every place has something that will interest you.
Like Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum
Oil and Gas Museum
Blue Grass Music (I love)
Theatre
Civil War re-enactments,
They have some of the best Whitewater rafting in the country
never post something like that when we a travel agent on the list.
Plus like Peter said, ask a West Virginian
You may not think that there is something to do there, but there is something for everyone.

Hello Chris and everyone,
Ask a West Virginian. I believe there are a few on this list.

Hi Peter and all,
I have a question about this resort proposal. I know there's a
lot of stuff that goes on at convention, leaving not a lot of
time to sightsee and tour the convention city, but for ^
convention-goers who stay after the convention ends, will every
need a more tourist city? What is there to really do outside of
the convention in West Verginia?

Hello Chris and everyone,
It was designed as a temporary chamber for both houses of
Congress to
conduct business during a national crisis. Who knows. If they
don't get
their act together and get this debt sealing issue resolved by
next Tuesday
they may still need to make a run for it. How ridiculous!

Hello Cheryl and everyone,
Speaking of West Virginia I wonder if we would ever hold a
national
convention at the Green Briar Resort. That place is luxury
unlimited, a
golfer's paradise, and has a long-kept secret that was revealed
only
recently. Is anyone up to sleeping in hotel rooms once reserved
for
members
of Congress?

no that is not true, like is said in my post that should come
through
soon, we need to bring it to the floor of the convention, and if
it
is
voted and passed then it needs to be changed.
Many of us, and yes also me, just because I have my own business
doesn't
mean I am wealthy, by all means no!
The NFB wants to make sure that the rates are affordable for
everyone
who
wants to attend. This was one of the largest convention since
Anaheim I am
told, because so many could attend.
Also, remember when flying as well, some had to do 1 stop to get
to
Orlando, it is a major hub in the airport industry, if we were to
go
to
another location that also has to be looked into.
Take for example: West Virginia (just did airfare for some from
NY to
Clarksberg) they have to fly out of NY to DC and then from DC to
Clarksberg, popped into my head, Some people may not be able to
get
to in
the middle of the country or not near a major airport to fly out
of,
some
live near a small airport, and cannot get to a larger one to go
direct or
non-stop. Some don't want to go to another gate, etc.
This has to be thought of ahead of time, and not just the
location.
But again, to have this changed, they as a majority we need to
let
them
know what we want.

Hi,
because national thinks nobody wants to be away at that time and
the
hotel
rates are cheaper and what they want is the rule.

Why do we have national convention over the 4th? It's more
expensive
to
travel because of the black out rates in less you get a killer
deal.
It's
more crowded too. I like the format as it is now with convention
ending
with
the banquet on Friday. It was a little strange before with the
grand
finale
of the banquet on Thursday and a few activities on Friday. In
the
beginning
of the week are more division and seminar days and there's more
flexibility
in the schedules depending on what you want. I agree that tours
can
happen
at the beginning and end of convention. I sometimes like the
half
relaxed
beginning of the week. I feel I have some time to
brethe...sometimes.
*g*
Also, tours before or after convention don't cut short because of
other
things convention related.
I was more attached to spending honeymoon time with Brent and
didn't
see
people I usually look up during national. Next year will be fun!
Hopefully
the following year in Orlandos will be another fun one too.
Peace,
Cari

I agree with you and I also wish it was not
during a holiday week. Sometimes it is difficult
for me to get off work that week and I can never
get it two years in a row. We rotate holidays.

It was announced at the convention that conventions from 2013
through
2017
will be held in Orlando. I wish we could extend the length of
the
convention
back to how it was and NFB would
organize tours for Wednesday afternoon. That way, people could
get
excited
about Orlando and have time to go places. I liked the old
schedule
much
better. If we are going to keep people here for five years in a
row,
we
need
to give them ample opportunity to take advantage of all there is
to
do
in
Orlando. Besides, I like the banquet the night before the last
day
of
convention.
