Hi Gail, darn, missed ya'll again. Thanks for the pics!
We get there just as it opens. The rooms do get crowded as more people arrive.
This year was even better than last year, at least for me. Many dealers had their more modestly priced flats out where they were easy to see and browse through.
My GF told me I could pick out one for my B-Day this month. Well, she wouldn't go for the $37,500 piece even if it covered B-days and Christmases for the rest of my life. Then, she offered to buy me a few and said I could come look at them anytime (we don't live together). lol

Thanks everyone. I have many photos to upload but am lacking time at the moment as we are enjoying my parents and spending time together. When I get home, tonight, after the last day of the show I will add many more! Got my two cameras charged and ready to go!
