<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1827850, member: 16948&quot;]The Houston Money Show is always a fun show, but not always well attended.&nbsp; I think the weather had a little something to do with it this time.&nbsp; A week before the show, I checked the weather forecast and it showed Houston being in the mid-70’s most of the week, so I basically packed for California weather – sandals, tank top, light jacket, etc.&nbsp; Yes, I should have checked it again a couple days before the show, since the forecast had changed dramatically – low 40’s, some rain and wind!&nbsp; Yikes!</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, the show was a C for me, and for many dealers I spoke with.&nbsp; Most everyone had a decent Thursday with lots of business going both ways.&nbsp; But traffic was very light on Friday and Saturday, so business was generally slow.&nbsp; The show folks do their best every year to put on a good show, including billboard advertisements, radio announcements, and they even “seeded” a few 1914-D pennies around the city and had tv announcements letting people know to keep an eye out for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I arrived at the John Wayne airport early Wednesday, sailed through security thanks to TSA pre-check, had my customary pre-flight beverage, listened to a book on my iPhone, boarded my flight, and waited for take-off.&nbsp; While watching them load the bags onto the plane, once again I was very pleased to see my own bag gliding up the conveyer belt into the plane!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3390_zps3b37cc7d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The weather was a beautiful sunny 70 degrees and soon the plane began to take off.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3393_zps42bbe1ac.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The planes out of John Wayne often take off headed west over the ocean then turn back around to head east.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3394_zps6086bdc4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3395_zps820590e3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3396_zps947a11d0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3397_zps2567fa3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>About 3 hours later, we were over Houston getting ready to land at Bush International Airport.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3400_zps46033955.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2012%20Houston%20Show/IMG_3401_zpsf9935d15.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
