>>We need someone to come to Hawaii for about 5 days to train 6 to 8 people on SharePoint - both admin and development. I've check with a couple places and getting bids like $22,000+ - was hoping to find something not as expensive - anyone have any ideas?

>Kevin Goff is an expert on SharePoint. I actually sat in one of his classes when a couple of years ago he was doing Code Camp (I think this is what it is called) and I found his presentation very conducive to learning.

You beat me to it. I was going to recommend Kevin as well. I don't have any idea what the cost would be and I'm not sure he can even freelance, since he does his paid training through a company, but it's worth a shot.
