I have just returned from the 100th NAR Convention in Orlando, FL.  The weather was beautiful.  I only got to go to the convention for its opening day.  I mainly went down there to get a new designation that was offered in the days before the convention.  The convention was held at the Orlando Convention Center which was by far the biggest convention hall I have ever seen.  Period.  And they are building an even bigger one across the street!  The Expo hall was about the size of 3-4 football fields.  Everyone who's anyone in the real estate industry seemed to have a booth.  It was loads of fun.  It helped that there was a bar about every 50 yards too!  Lionel Ritchie was the artist who opened up the convention.  I didn't make it but heard it was a great show!  The convention is till going on and I'm sure he speakers are blowing it up.  The lineup was stellar.  I reccomend going to this convention at sometiem in your life.  It was totally worth it!  I also want to thank Mr. David Knox for getting me in for free!
