<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2060100, member: 16948&quot;]For me, the FUN show is probably the most anticipated show I attend.&nbsp; The coin show season slows down the last few months of the year so many dealers eagerly await the FUN show in early January, as I do!&nbsp; Also, many feel the FUN show is somewhat of a gauge for the coin market for the year.&nbsp; And if this FUN show is any indication, 2015 should be a good coin year!&nbsp; For me, the FUN show was very busy, with lots of good buys and really good sales.&nbsp; Even more importantly, I also built relationships with several new collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Going to shows on the east coast requires a full day of travel for me, so I headed to the airport on Tuesday morning.&nbsp; As a frequent traveler, I build up my air miles and look forward to using them to upgrade to first class when traveling to east coast shows.&nbsp; This only happens a couple times a year, with the FUN show being one of them.&nbsp; So even though it would be a very long day, I didn’t mind since I would have a more relaxing flight to Florida.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me so happy to be headed to the FUN show!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_8700_zpsa0e4aeaf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bye-bye OC</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_8703_zps3c77471b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had a connection in Denver which was covered with snow!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_8704_zpse70b7693.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2001%20FUN%20Show/IMG_8705_zpsfa9db772.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I arrived in Florida late Tuesday, settled in to my condo, and went straight to bed since I had a 9am meeting the next morning.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wednesday – It was a beautiful morning, and I arrived at the Orlando convention center early for a meeting.&nbsp;
