A week out of the RV and into the Hilton in Long Beach. Short nights and long, busy days. This is our 16th Convention as AW Transportation and we knew it was going to be busy, but fun.
The flight from Ft. Wayne, IN via Chicago, IL to Long Beach, CA was fairly uneventful and smooth
and we landed in LAX on time
It would take some time to report on the week and every meeting we had, so we will keep it short
Pat from Shanghai, our most important Australian in a developing country
Thomas our fearless EUROMOVERS leader from Luxemburg
In deep discussion with Mattias our Finnish EUROMOVER
Talking about recent shipments to Mexico with Roeland
Dan from Japan
And with Thomas again, waiting for the opening reception to start
Eddy, our insurance agent and the rest of the gang after the reception, closing the bar at the Convention Hotel
Scottish movers in national garb for the closing ceremonies
We did take some time off to see the local sights and Long Beach is a community changing from a port city to a convention and tourist type of place with interesting food trucks
the original Queen Mary as a hotel, museum and local attraction
an interesting Harbour with restaurants and trinket stores
and of course, a light house
All in all, a week to see almost everybody we have worked with all year, see new people, chat about business and after all a more or less welcome break from RVing as the people we met in Long Beach, CA could not be more different from the folks we have met on the road thus far.
