Day 4 - foot sore but ohh so much fun

Kaz and I are absolutely exhausted, four days solid on our feet has caught up with us. We have had a great time, getting up early and heading out for breakfast - the hotel restaurant is closed for renovations, show and classes from 10 - 6 then out for dinner and back to the hotel around 10 or 11, then it's time to hit the catalogs we have lugged around all day to work out what we will buy etc, blog deal with emails and we finally fall into bed around midnight 1am. The food this side is much better than I expected and certainly better than I experienced last trip to the states. Other than at the show we haven't had much of a chance to shop - we'll save that for San Francisco - though I did buy a funky little hand bag at the farmers market on Thursday. Tomorrow the show closes so it will be a little sightseeing in the late arvo then back to the hotel to pack .... an interesting task in itself. How can we bend the laws of physics and expand our suitcases without adding weight ..... any ideas anyone?
Last night we had the Global gathering cocktail party and tonight was the awards dinner which were an great opportunity to network with people from the US, UK, Canada, Italy, Brazil, France, Germany and Asia - we even met a few fellow Aussies.
One thing that stood out was the CHA booth decorations, they have gone all out with their displays and they are truly awesome.
