I have to agree with Wayne... it was incredible! Ninety-plus
degrees, fast water, great people and parties. As usual, FMG did a
terrific job organizing the event. And, the dragon boaters raised
an estimated $50,000 for the local chapter of the Children's Make a
Wish Foundation.

As most of you know, the Golden Nugget was very kind to the
Canadian teams, and it so happens that one of the owners is also an
owner of Expedia.com. So, over dinner one night, an offer was
suggested...

If we (Canadian Dragon Boaters) can get a minimum of 70 people
together for next year, Expedia.com would arrange an aircraft for
us. And I'm not talking a Beechcraft here! If they happen to be
from, say, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, they would fly to
each major center, then DIRECT to Laughlin! How cool is that? OK,
OK, you're thinking, "great, but for how much Norm?" Well, how's
$320-$370 US?

I promise, I'll get more information in the coming months, but
think about it, and let your teams know as well. I think this could
be fantastic!
