Tampa, day 1

We left Kansas City at 7 yesterday morning.  It was actually pretty nice at home, for January.  My employer moved his plane to another airport, which is MUCH closer to home than the downtown airport, and he has a giant hanger out there.  After they pulled the plane out, the pilot told us to put our cars inside!  That was cool.  It means, if the weather is bad when we get home, our cars will be warm and dry.

They had originally said we'd stop for fuel on the way, but we didn't have to. We got here with no problems, Talk about WONDERFUL weather!  It is so pretty here.  We worked our TAILS off setting up the booth, but a few of us girls got to walk around for a bit.

There are 9 of us at this convention.  That tells me they plan on us being VERY busy.  I'm traveling with a pretty good group of folks.  We took a few customers to a nice steak house last night.  I ate too much, but also got more exercise than I usually do in a week.

OK, enough chatter.  I have to finish getting ready for breakfast.  It's going to be a LONG old day, but if we're good and busy, it'll go by fast.  Today is the day that I get to meet one of my favorite photographers.  We're also taking them to dinner tonight. He is wonderful at his work, and his wife is a doll.  We'll talk each others ears off, I'm sure.

Amy, your house is fine.  It says "hi."

oh yeah....that's Raymond James Coliseum.  My house is 10 minutes from it.  The house always shook every time the Bucs scored, 'cause they would fire the cannons.
