ReNau,

 

I had plans... put they didn't work. We had planned on going on

opening day... I got involved

with a phone call with a web company helping us to make our website

more up to date...

and really got lost in the questions and excitement. Then I thought

we would go on Saturday

before we went to the airport as I thought we left to come home late

Saturday but our

reservations were to leave at 12:45 PM instead... and on Friday we

had to finish up and

shrink wrap our pallets... so we got lost in Tucson Time and missed

the main event which

I heard was incredible. Oh well... next year I will plan differently.

 

On the positive side.. I have already reserved the same condo as this

year.. which was great.

It had a 2 car garage where we could put our pallets and get

everything ready for a safe return

to Washington. I was sad to leave it to come home!

 

No matter how much time you have in Tucson, it seems to never to be

enough. I was there three weeks

and still didn't get to some of the shows I have not been to...

mainly the fine gems and jewelry shows.

There is a huge burn out factor where after a few days everything

starts looking the same. Just imagine

dozens of tables filled with Polished Quartz Points... some of it

gets downright boring... and then

you see tables and tables of " junk " being mis-treated and ignored...

then you see tents full

of rugs and carpets... then some Morocco dealer with stuff you

couldn't care less about but

you just have to look to make sure there isn't a " diamond in the rough " there.

 

It was funny... my son came down for 5 days.. and passed out every

night. :-) It is exhausting

buying crystals!

 

In gratitude,

Hiyas everyone,

 

Tucson time does seem to fly...even when one is sick as I've found

out. Spent one day at the show, another day visiting some of my dad's

friends and another with some other friends. And the last two days

before I head back home sick. ::sigh:: Naer fun.

 

Take care, hope you enjoyed the show...

 

Lynn
