<p>[QUOTE="lardan, post: 24881730, member: 138663"]Let me start with the good. It appeared to have a lot of activity. I have never been on the first day before. and from what I could see the crowd was much larger than last year. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to talk with two Coin Talk Members. I had a nice conversation with [USER=20480]@ToughCOINS[/USER], which I met initially last year and it was great to see him again. I also got to meet for the first time [USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER]. Had a nice conversation with him also. Hope you have a Happy Birthday, a great day to go beyond one's normal coin budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the bad. I have driven to Orlando well over a hundred times, and I had driven to Orlando just a week earlier to bring my son home from college. Furniture, pots and pans, and stuff from the apartment I no longer have to pay rent for each month. His apartment is about 20 miles further east of the Fun Show. I left my house a half-hour earlier than my trip the week before. I had made arrangments to meet [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] after his class. Well, the traffic was so bad it took me over 3 hours to reach the Fun Show. By the time I got there he was already finished. Needless to say we didn't get to meet, and that really bothers me still. If I say I'm going to be somewhere at a certain time I don't fail in doing this. I apologize to you John.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall it looks as though the coin collecting world appears to be in my opinion alive and well. I also noticed msny lookers and buyers were certainly younger than me. I did wonder don't these people have jobs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
