This is going to be a busy, exciting week- if I can ever get things caught up enough at home to leave. The little one is complaining of a sore throat; the 19 year old accused me of never being home (although she is off at college and is never home herself). The 23 year old and the 19 year old haven't thought to give me grief yet, but give them time.

At any rate- I'm all packed! I am going to Philadelphia to RE BarCamp Philly. Tonight, I will get on the Amtrack train in my town, and travel to Boston. I will take the subway to South Station, get on a Greyhound bus, transfer in NYC and go to Wilmington, DE- where I will meet one of my best friends, Maya, face-to-face for the first time. I plan on seeing many friends whom I have met through twitter, Facebook and the Real Estate events- I don't even want to mention names because I know I will leave some out. Many of these will be first time meetings- and many more will feel like reunions, because that is what these camps feel like.

It's kind of like when you are invited to a wedding, and you are excited for the bride and groom, but what makes you happiest is having the chance to catch up with the people who will be coming. How have they been doing in business; how have their personal lives been going? Even more thrilling is looping into their conversations. It is wonderful to watch the ideas and sparks fly between some of them, and contribute when you can.

So that is exciting, certainly worth a long bus ride. But to add to that, on Thursday we will be speaking before a regional real estate board in Deleware on Social Media.

Heading back on Friday, I should be exhausted, but I will have been doing what I love. Hey- do you recognise that girl blowing a kiss on the right in the recap video? She's making memories.
