No wonder your mom called you "sun". You are so bright!
But, wait a minute. GMCMI could have a convention in Australia. There
would be no need to ship the boxes since only two or three members would
make the trip. If more did there would be a need for a hotel. Hotels have
cooking facilities and meeting rooms. Seems like it would work.
But wait. That would cost more than $20 US per night. Nope. Definitely out
of the question.
