Maybe last year they had some overly aggressive security guards. Even tho
I was an entrant, they wouldn't let my wife in without the special team
pass. We got one, but it was a nuisance. The rejection letter I got this
year specifically said it was open to all members, so I thought that was
a new idea. The security people did seem well briefed this time. We had
no problem getting in.
I was there at the aquarium. Dining in front of the largest aquarium
window in the world was unique.
