If you leave a comment, Jim will visit your blog and leave a comment.It's not too early to prepare for the National Association of Realtors 2009 Convention here in San Diego, November 13-16.

You can find all sorts of information about the Convention at the official NAR Convention web site, but I'll be doing some blog entries up through the convention about "America's Finest City," things to do, places to go, people to see, etc.

I'll eventually put all the NAR 2009 Convention blog entries under NAR 2009 Convention San Diego, but the tags don't seem to be working right now.

Since the Convention is being held at the San Diego Convention Center on the Bay, the San Diego Trolley provides a good means of getting around since it has at least two stops across from the Convention Center. You can go north to Seaport Village for some shopping and food, the Embarcadero for seafood or a visit to the USS Midway Museum (well worth the tour), the Old Town State Historic Park for some fine Mexican dining, or to Mission Valley for more dining and great night life. Those interested in going to Tijuana can hop on the Trolley heading south.

You can also come to San Diego via train. Just take Amtrak into Los Angeles and catch the Surfliner down to San Diego's historic Santa Fe Depot. From there you can catch the Trolley to the Convention Center. An alternate train ride involving more trains would be to catch Amtrak into Los Angeles, switch to Metrolink and take it south to Oceanside, switch to the Coaster at Oceanside and take it to the Santa Fe Depot, and then catch the Trolley.

San Diego Trolley Day Tripper passes are available for just $5, or you can get multi-day passes good for up to four days for just $15. They allow you to ride anywhere and everywhere on the Trolley or the Metro busses.

If anyone would like me to check on something specific, like a specific hotel or something, or you'd like to see a slide show of something that you're thinking about doing, let me know by leaving a comment.

Great Jim! Somehow, I knew you would help with some insider knowledge! It's one thing to look at a city on a map and read about hotel descriptions, etc. but it cannot be compared to the insight from someone who walks those streets every day! Thanks, I'm looking forward to more!

Jim,

I ran across this post thanks to a re-blog by Russel.   Thank you for the insight.  I am planning to be at the convention and I look forward to seeing you there.   Great slide show!  How do you add the video from Slide into a post in AR?

Hey, Gerry - I know how to do it, but I always manage to mess it up, at which point I have to call on my marketing guru to make everything all better. But basically it's no different than inserting a YouTube video. You simply copy the code, switch to the HTML tab here, and insert the Slide code wherever you want it. Unfortunately, if you ever switch back to the WYSIWYG tab, you'll lose the Slide code. ActiveRain is weird in that sense. In fact, I had been going back and editing old posts to put better tags on them and clean up the videos that ActiveRain stripped out last November, and each time I did that, I'd lose points. I'm not sure how many points I lost in May, but it was a lot. I kept a record and I'll probably ask for my points back since I know they've given disappearing points back to other people in the same circumstances.

Wow, you are planning ahead.  Thanks for sharing the information.  I won't be attending this year.

Jim,

Thank you for answering my question.  I am looking forward to posting my first slide show here on AR (stay tuned).  Sorry to read that you lost points editing old posts.
