I was happy to leave the cold New Hampshire weather behind albeit for just a few days, I left this morning as I boarded my non-stop flight to Vegas.

Southwest started their new boarding procedure and it was relatively painless.  Jay printed out my boarding pass yesterday exactly 24 hours to the minute in advance. I got Row A position 21…very nice.

There was a good amount of N.H. Realtors on my flight which was very nice; in fact I sat with our incoming state president Paul Sargeant.

I was pleased to see some new faces…1st time NAR convention attendees. It was nice to see their excitement!

I think we have over 110 REALTORS representing New Hampshire and something like 25,000 REALTORS in total. I hope Vegas is ready for us.

My room is lovely...very Vegas style with 3 flat screen TV's...and a gorgeous bathroom! Speaking of which I'm going to go grab a shower and head to a meeting.

Later I'll visit the trade show and enjoy the grand opening ceremony. I’ll be sure to take plenty of pictures…you never know who I might encounter.

Moni - Gorgeous room! I'll bet it's warm out there compared to NH!

I am so jealous!!! Keep us posted. And I don't mean the weather, lol. I already know its warm there, I have been there before. Brrrrr!

11/13/2007 03:58 PM by Karen Hurst ~ Real Estate Broker ~ Warwick ~ Rhode Island (Storm Realty LLC)

ooooh, I am so jealous.  Have lots of fun Monika!  I'm waiting excitedly to hear all about it.  It's the next best thing to being there.

Hey Monika -  there you are!!!

THREE flat screen TVs???  I'll say that's Vegas style!  Looks like a very nice room.  And how nice to have flown with Paul, too.  He's a good traveling companion.

I'll be watching for more posts...  ;-)

By the way, it's so cold here today, it got up to 59.

Monika,

I hope you have a great time at the Convention.  Didn't get to go this year, but I know you will report about all the fun & interesting things that will happen there.  Will everything that happens to you in Vegas, stay in Vegas? 

11/13/2007 05:54 PM by Harold Watts' Palm Springs Real Estate Blog (Scott Lyle Realtors)

Oh I am soooo jealous too!!!  I wish I could've gone!!!  Have fun and keep us informed and updated on all the cool stuff.... we.......are..............all......................sitting......................here............missing!  :(

Moni, I wish I were with you but someone has to stay in the office working while you are out playing. Just kidding. Looks like a nice room but how much time will you spend there since Jay is back home? Have fun. Send Pics of the AR party.

11/13/2007 08:52 PM by Judy Tuscano, NH Real Estate Professional (Prudential Verani Realty)

Monika have fun and I am sure you will be running into some AR members there.  Post some pictures!!!

And OH YA don't worry about Jay as long as you left him with lots of Fenway Frank's ........ LOL 

11/13/2007 10:07 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)

George , sound yummy doesn't it? Wish I had some. Maybe lobster would be better.

11/13/2007 10:10 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

Jay, it it is lobster I will help you eat it, even if it means eating a Fenway Frank or two...... LOL

11/13/2007 10:14 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)

George we can skip the Fenway Franks but I'll bring the recordings of the 2004 ALCS games 4-5-6-7 and we can sit around the campfire and eat lobster and watch some great baseball. LOL LOL LOL LOL

11/13/2007 10:33 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

Jay, now that is asking a little to much :)

11/13/2007 10:38 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)

George I just couldn't resist. LOL I'll leave them at home.

11/14/2007 08:25 AM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)

Hey You Two - come on over to Portsmouth for fresh lobster!!  Forget those Fenway Franks, although it's supposed to be up to 60 today, so we could cook them on the grill.......

Ann

11/14/2007 09:55 AM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)

WARNING MONIKA!! I think your post has been hijacked! It's probably not a good thing to leave Jay at home alone! LOL!!

11/14/2007 10:05 AM by Linda Scanlan (A Fan of AR)

Linda, Monika is having too much fun to even pay attention to this post. Hey Ann are you sure you want a Red Sox Fan and a Yankees fan at the same party? Perhaps some Patriots fans to throw them off the subject.

11/14/2007 10:54 AM by Judy Tuscano, NH Real Estate Professional (Prudential Verani Realty)

Hi Judy - I know that's TRUE!! It would be fun to be there!

11/14/2007 10:55 AM by Linda Scanlan (A Fan of AR)

Looks like everyone is here except Moni - I went to her newest blog and she isn't there either - Moni where are you?

11/14/2007 05:07 PM by Judy Tuscano, NH Real Estate Professional (Prudential Verani Realty)

Hey Judy - my honey and my dad are both die-hard Yankees fans!  I guess that adds variety to the spice of life, huh?

Monika - WHERE ARE YOU????  Has Vegas caught you up in its grasp???

11/14/2007 05:51 PM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)

LOL...You guys are a hoot! My post got Hijacked and I couldn't even be here to enjoy it with you all. LOL!
