Afterwards, since Rick had a rental car, we I headed back to the casino.&nbsp; Along the way, we stopped at a store so I could buy some Powerball tickets!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4637_zpskfho8jvr.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I didn’t win anything!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On Sunday, I slept in a little, had a relaxing breakfast with my friend Dan, and wondered into the bourse around 10am.&nbsp; It looked like a ghost town, at least the main part of the bourse floor did.&nbsp; The budget section was still mostly fully present.&nbsp; But there was still a decent public presence, and I was very pleased to have a huge sale by a new customer who bought a large group of PCGS MS64 RB Indian cents.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon it was time to pack up and begin the long trek home.&nbsp; Rick’s flight was at 4pm, and even though my flight wasn’t until 6pm, Rick had a rental car so I went to the airport with him.&nbsp; I had an almost 4-hour wait for my flight so I had a nice lunch and a tasty rum and pineapple beverage while I waited for my flight.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4636_zpskntnewth.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When I headed to my gate, I was very pleased to see that the area around my gate was not very crowded, in fact, it was almost deserted!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4639_zpsvcrh2ilg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Getting ready to board!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4640_zpshhwukqdp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So happy to be headed home!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4643_zpsat6g5bvy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bye-bye beautiful Tampa….</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4646_zpskhxwhmjz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4648_zps1emjaiv9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4649_zpspmex2qtb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4650_zpsmogsd5jc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4652_zpsqavhynpd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello home, hubby and my sweet little PENNY!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2016%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_4685_zpswsvblccl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As I mentioned, this FUN show was a fantastic show for me, probably one of my best shows ever! It demonstrates to me that the collector market is still alive and thriving. I loved being so busy that the days flew by, yet I still had some time to visit with the folks who took the time to stop by and say hi.&nbsp; I am so grateful and fortunate to be able to work in a business that I love and have a passion for, and to get to see so many good friends at each show I attend.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next up:&nbsp; San Jose Show, then Long Beach on Super Bowl weekend![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
