Hi Robin,
When I was on the 7 Magic, I had gotten some of the DIS'er into trading pins, It was funny, by the end of the cruise I had made 3 new pin traders.
Sounds like how I started want to the Orlando HRC for a buddy, and I was hooked, now 4000 pins later and appx 50 cafes later I'm still going, slowed down, but still going.
Just wait intill you fly to Antwerp Beligm for a weekend, Thur to Mon, or drive to Vegas from Phoenix (5 to 6 hour drive) and spend 2 hours at the cafe/hotel and drive back home, when we were going to WDW for Christmas I had very few pins, so for Thankgiving we did the So. Cal. and TJ Mex run so I had pins for Orlando, so you can see how I got my name "HRCCrazy" and proud of it.
Have fun, going to the cafes, the best part of it all.
