What a day! Salt Lake City 2006




What an amazing day we had at convention today. I can't begin to describe all the things that we did. However some of the highlights were noted in the pictures on the blog today.

Bev (Mom) and I got going quite early today. We had lots and lots of things to finish up today. So off we went caught the shuttle at just the right time. We caught up with Dr Ladd McNamara and asked a few questions. We also got to talk to the folks at the Healthy for Life booth as well. I also met some great people and we all were bouncing ideas off each other. What a pleasure to talk to like minded folks.

The general session this afternoon was so very very nice. Many fun speakers and the car contest winners. Usana gave away 6 cars this year. I did not get the BMW though so I guess I have to work a bit harder at it for next year.

The best part of the day was Bev performing a few duties. She drew the names for the convention survey raffle and then she danced the Two a Day dance with the Usana staff in the store. She also got a chance to see and talk to the keynote speaker Li from the Houston Ballet. What a day for all of us here in Salt Lake City. I hope that you all will come with us next year for more fun and frolic.

Usana International Convention 2007 August 22-25, 2007. See you there.!

Salt Lake City again!

I am off again to Salt Lake City Utah. This is my fifth trip there and each time I go I explore a bit farther away from the hotel and the conference center. This year I am actually going to get a massage. This massage is not going to be in my room at the hotel nor is it at a spa. It is at a professional massage therapist's office. I actually have to get a cab and go there. I am quite proud of myself and excited that I am doing something outside of the convention. I am happy to also meet some locals. Not just locals that are working at the event itself.

I am staying at the Little America Hotel. This hotel is a jewel. We found this hotel (last year) through AAA here in Maine and of course we were not sure that we wanted to stay there however the rate was far too good to pass up. What a surprise to find that the hotel was so nice. You can look at it here. http://www.littleamerica.com/slc/

We were a bit late making our reservations this year so we were happy to get a room from someone that had to cancel their trip. I am sorry that this group will not be coming to the convention this year however I am happy that I was able to get a room. I like this hotel so much better than the other large hotels near the Salt Palace and the Delta Center that I don't even mind the walk. The UTrax is just outside and that is a great ride.

So if you are looking for me this week (Sept 12-17, 2006) I will be in Utah. See you all when I return. I might even get a chance to post some pictures while I am away.

Have a great week!
