Personally, I would not ride a buss for 3 days and sleep on the floor of a fleabag hotel to go (It's the Democrat way).
I would loved to have gone. Not even about the money, we could afford it. But I have a job and a house and pets and other obligations and it just was not going to work out. Plus how much can you see? I watched it from the comfort of the house we own on the furniture I bought!
