KEEP WITH TRADITION?  (UPDATE)

Well, Anna and I have decided to change it up this year and have cancelled our reservation at the airport hotel and will stay the last evening at the convention hotel. We've only done this once before, our first time at convention, so while it's a change from the norm, it will be a nice change. Will allow us to wind down from the week easier and more comfortably.

Now that we are getting uber close to "lift off", we are starting to panic.... what to bring? What to pack? We go through this every year! I'm bringing some items for Anna, and Anna is bringing things for me (we often swap Zumba and "regular" clothes)... plus gifts for fellow instructors we're going to meet up with while there (I still have to buy those! Anyone have ideas?) I'm very much looking forward to meeting up with a few instructors specifically.... Susan from San Diego who is Jarrett's professional mentor (it's her full time gig), and "I always get to see her" Sarah from Wichita, Kansas and our favorite, our wonderful Sebastian from Slovenia.... a singer, songwriter, instructor extraordinaire with his own dance studio among other businesses. Oh and of course Rachel from the UK! She's an amazing choreographer and my Goldies have danced to many of her songs.

Starting to "stage" items in the extra bedroom... making lists, etc. It's getting so close!

 TIL NEXT YEAR.... Convention is over... all the signs are gone. All the people, well the majority, are gone. This morning was our final session and then an amazing closing ceremony. This afternoon Anna and I decided to go to a nearby mall just for a change of scenery on our last day together, and then take the traditional last walk through the hotel and convention center, remembering all the fun memories of the past week.  We do have a very big surprise for all my Gold students. I have to wait for “someone” to do “something” and then you’ll see. All I will say for now is that we got up very early this morning to work on it. 😊 Anna’s flight leaves at 10a tomorrow, mine leaves at 4p. I will see you all on Tuesday barring any flight delays! I miss you all so much!

And this week is our final week of looking back at previous conventions... the 2019 convention was the last one that was held due to the pandemic hitting us in 2020 and the unfortunate cancellation of the 2020 convention [insert very sad face here!] For me 2019 was a very "educational" convention... I learned so much that I have brought to our classes. Enjoy!  Click here to view.
