Exciting news!

I have a family vacation coming up in California for about 10 days and LUCKILY… it coincides with reefapaloza!

I’m traveling from Alaska so I won’t be buying corals. Maybe if vendors ship then I’ll grab some.

What should I expect ? Any tips?

Cash on hand or will my credit card be fine lol

I’m planning to get the diamond pass for a day since it will come with a goodie bag.

Since I live in Alaska I probably won’t go to a event like this ever again because I don’t fly only for expos!

Looking forward to it!

Bring all the dough you got because you will want to unload useless cash and fly home with a jumbo load of corals. Bring the plastic also because you can max those out and then tell your CC company they were stolen while you were at Disneyland. Happens all the time and no one will question you. ;) :rolleyes: :face-savoring-food:

Otherwise, there are a lot of coral vendors and LFS that you might want to check out? What cities will you be staying in on your visit? What kind of corals would you like to see while you are down here?

haha good news is I’m out of room in my 35 gallon waterbox so corals are going to be quality over quantity only if they ship to Alaska.

I fly out Monday morning and I’m going on Saturday so that will save me some money haha.

My hotel is 15 minutes away from the event site which is good. I don’t know the city or the hotel, that’s the wife’s job to remember that haha!

Just very excited to shop for merch and look around. I guess maybe buy some buy goods that I usually have to pay for shipping to have it shipped to Alaska

I believe you can take corals on the plane with you. You might be able to arrange for the vendors to pack them up for you late on Sunday so they are nice and fresh and ready for transport on Monday.


Don't know if that container would work for corals like an elegance or acantho, but if you're getting sticks, zoas or something else that's not too bulky should work!
