I would put the NALTEA Events & Planning Committee up against any Professional Planners out there.  They did a fantastic job!  The cruise was one of the best I have ever been on, including our own "Goodtime Cruise" here in Cleveland.  Many Thanks to Joanie Ripley and her committee.
Jarrod did a wonder job capturing the whole conference & social time with his articles.  Those of you that have not experienced one of  the NALTEA conferences have another chance in January.  Mark you calenders for January 14th, 15th, & 16th.  Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend.  Not sure of the location yet, but I have no doubt that there will be fun along with the work.
