And I'm sure it was worth every penny of it. I fall under the 'really pressed
for cash' section, and was fortunate to have a friend pay for my
transportation and put me up at his house. Having a local put you up is
definitely the way to go for budget, and most of them would be more than happy
to let you stay. I don't advocate *asking* for airfare however, but it was
offered to me (I certainly didn't ask!), and if its ever offered to you, take
it! :)

Before you came, I grabbed about 19 white corridor walls from the 2 K-8 bins
that were already emptied. So now that's about a third of my 60 some odd
trans orange ones :) I am thinking of how to build a good Ice Planet outpost
now. Still need some more white inverse corners to do what I want to do.
