Sam’s Club Groupon Membership and Crazy Checkout Experience

Good morning everyone, just a quick update on my travel plans over the next few months.  Even though the FTU Advanced Dallas just ended last weekend, I will return to Dallas for the next FTU Advanced Dallas event on September 25-27.  Tickets are $249 and the Hyatt Regency has a $99/night group rate.  The hotel is within walking distance of DFW Airport.  If you are skeptical of attending by yourself, read this post: Why you Should go to Travel Conferences by Yourself #Rant.
