I am planning my first trip to the Orlando regional and because there are lots of things to do in the area, I am wondering how many days to set aside for watches. Any suggestions?

All of them..... seriously......

For the past two years anyway, it take two days to really cover the show and dig deep..and that is not taking in any seminars.....

Also, remember what restaurant that someone tells U they will be at..... so you don't miss the after hours fun like We did last year :redface: :biggrin:

Datona and the gals on the beach!

St. Augistine's (spell?) by the sea

Peebles (spell?) new wave

Vivauldie (spell?) Italian

But watch out for that place, 50s style (Angel's?), where Tom McIntyre almost killed himself and everyone got sick eating one night (but the bar does have free popcorn)!

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

A lot of people go down early and attend the WWT show across the street from Universal Studios. Monday & Tuesday out there, Wednesday is sort of a day off then Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the main meeting. Fun, except for watches, is after dark.

Of course, if you are independently wealthy, you should also got to the IWJG show and try to hit the big jewelry show in Miami that is often the preceding week. :biggrin:

It is amazing what you can pick up for a few hundred thousand. :eek:

We could try for a Message Board get together. Thursday afternoon late might be good. The wheelers and dealers should have abandoned the Mart room by then and if we make it early enough it will not interfere with pre-planned dinner engagements.

You will be able to spot me as the guy handing out campaign buttons and my picture will be all over the place. :biggrin:

The pit at the Marriot is the standard gathering place.

One good place to meet a number of us will be at the Chapter 174 meeting.
