Jasper - March 13-15, 2015

Jan, Robyn Randi, Scott and I attended the PJ Party at Jasper Park Lodge (well the girls attended - we helped with set up and packing up).  We had a small pop up shop and the girls networked all weekend. Quite a success.  Scott and I ate!

Las Vegas - February 28 - March 3, 2015

Jan, Robyn, Scott and I booked a last minute trip to Vegas to attend a trade show which we learned about in Clearwater.  Another busy few days with a little eating (Shake Shack, Fulton's Fish Market, Bachanal, Yellow Tail, Tom's Urban) and a little gambling (too much apparently as we were not so lucky this time).  We stayed at New York New York.  Found some great buys for the store!

Clearwater Beach, Florida - February 15-19, 2015

Sunday. Robyn and I are off to Clearwater Beach, Florida for some meetings with a group of 15 retailers from around North America to discuss issues and help each other grow our businesses. We left Edmonton at noon and arrived in Toronto about 4 hours later. After a 3 hour delay and several gate changes we left Toronto and arrived in Tampa around 1 am. In bed at 2 am.

Monday. We slept in (Robyn longer than I). I went for a walk for about an hour and then came back to meet Robyn for breakfast. I had grits and biscuits with sausage gravy. Love Florida!  We spent the day on the beach mostly sleeping.

The rest of our trip was all business related and we were exhausted at the end of each day and dropped into bed early.  It is draining when you are meeting with such great individuals from great businesses and sharing ideas.  So many ideas, so little time ...
