I think that is a good idea to add Friday to the calendar. We could make Friday evening a dinner at the hotel and a formal meeting to conduct any business. Saturday is the cruise and pictures followed with a lunch for awards and raffle stuff! We get more time with Friends and extended family. Just my $.02
BTW Next Year's event will be 25 - 27 February 2005. If we add Friday and make Thursday a travel day. Then 24 - 27 February 2004. Not that I'm looking ahead!
