a couple of thoughts…
i know that most of you already know this, but "non-refundable" tickets are often refundable -- there's just a rebooking charge. when i cancelled my trip to Nairobi, i think i got all but $150 back from Expedia in the form of a credit that i had to use up within a year.
speaking of Nairobi. i participated remotely in that meeting and i have to say that the experience was great. looking at the $2100 ticket cost to Singapore (the leading candidate in the rumor mill at the moment) i'd like to lobby for a US-based remote-participation option. i love you folks, but 48 hours of plane rides and $2100 to see your faces is pretty steep.
