Still working the show. Our booth was quite busy with IFWTWA members, prospective members, scholarship interest, and terrific meetings with tourism and tour operators.
Fortunately, the panel I participated in on Culinary Tourism went well, so I feel good about that.
Linda Kissam, Norm and I had a nice dinner at Islands across from the Long Beach Convention Center. Relaxed a little. Another day of the show tomorrow and then back home.
I promise next week, that I’ll be back to our regular posts. I’m just to tired tonight.
