    Things have shaken out a bit.
    Put up in a hotel and a given money for a meal.
    Getting up at 4am for the flight to Boston.
    Hopefully arrive on time in Boston at 9am, then 1hr shuttle ride to Woburn, where one of the attendees has offered to pick me up at the station and drive me to the Farm. Crossing fingers that I'll arrive by noon.
    We shall see.

    Made it I to Boston and now as far as Woburn. Anyone still on their way and want to pick me up? Looks like I'm still 30 minutes away. So close, yet so far.

    I just hopped on a train from Woburn to Lowell. This will put me within 15 minutes (by car) of Kimball Farm.

    This has been a great convention so far, thanks to Danny, Evan, Tony, and all the vendors. Great prizes, too! Still haven't figured out how to install the Beat Sonic cellphone holder donated by Clazzio. Looking forward to the sharkfin.

    Add my thanks for TGB4.
    The event was staged professionally but geared for fun, and every talk was peppered with plenty o’ participation from the Prius faithful.
    It’s these dialogues that made the event much more than just a live-action version of PriusChat.
    Special thanks to Paul Guzyk of Boulder Hybrids, and Erica from Toyota. They know their Prius stuff and were happy to share.
    If Danny, Russell, Evan, Tony, (et. al.) zig like they zagged this year and site next year’s event in your region, you don’t want to miss it.

    Just wanted to share a bit of what ToGoBefore has done for me. I've known about hypermiling for years, read all about it on PriusChat but I never gave it a try. After one lecture by @TonyPSchaefer (and I didn't even get to stay for the whole session) My MPG for an 8 mile trip went from 44 MPG to 50 MPG according to my 'Automatic' dashboard.

    I've even had one 63 MPG day since getting back from ToGoB4.

    I also obtained a wealth of knowledge (and a spare smart key) from Paul Guzyk.

    Evan gave me Tesla envy. Now I just have to win the lottery and it will be mine.

    Much thanks to Danny, Russel and everyone else who made this event happen.

    At home we still have a 2011 with my old PHEV conversion, so the answer is " I never totally left "..........
