He and his assistant Nina were both on my flight, as were several other dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_3277_zpsf59fb4b7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The sun began to set just before take off</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_3281_zpsd3c5ffe5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bye-bye Baltimore…. til next time….</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_3282_zpsc39aea37.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Love being above the clouds!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2011%20Baltimore%20Show/IMG_3284_zps583f291d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As has been mentioned in other reports, the show was most active on Thursday which is the day I did the most business.&nbsp; Friday was good, and Saturday was slow.&nbsp; Overall, I felt the show was a solid B and agree that it is one of the best shows out there.&nbsp; Whitman does an excellent job putting this show together and I never really hear any complaints.&nbsp; Even the food served in the lobby for lunch is really good, especially their pulled pork sandwich!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That’s it for this show.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend the March Baltimore as my son is getting married that weekend.&nbsp; I asked him if he could please change the date, but…&nbsp; just kidding!&nbsp; I only have two boys and this is my eldest so I am so thrilled and very excited that he is getting married and can’t wait for this special day.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next up is the Houston Money show in early December and then the Ontario show right after that, then a break for a few weeks before a very busy January/February![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
