@Mikilt I am glad to hear that buddy , I hope you have a great time at the games , every year I go into work in January and take the same days off for the whole year every year - I know the days at the beginning due to I follow the games
and take vacation to do it .
One day I want to retire ( lol ) and follow the games for a whole year .

My yearly routine of Highland Games consists of
Daylesford - 2.5 hrs away - stay overnight with friends
Maryborough - 3 hrs way - stay overnight with friends
Bendigo - 2hrs away - stay overnight with friends
Geelong - 2 hrs away
Victorian Pipe Band Campionships - 20 mins away
Ringwood - 30 mins away
and a couple of other Celtic weekend events if I am not overseas.

The above are all in the state of Victoria. I have been to interstate ones on the odd occassion

You are right, it is better in the Highland Games Forum so moving there.

I get a mere two Games Days per year, one day at the Milwaukee Highland Games, and one at the Wisconsin Highland Games. I always seem to miss Chicago as it's almost always on Father's Day weekend, although this year's schedule was different I was doing some emergency home repairs (winter damage to the pavements that caused a leak in the basement).
