    Redhot Jumper Vision Expo Ends in the 5 longest hours............

    The longest 5 hours of March are the last ones for an exhibitor of Vision Expo Sunday afternoon.

    Most of the visitors from out of town are leaving around lunch time if they have not left during the morning. The isles are getting emptier by the minute, and you get the Sunday afternoon New Yorkers hanging around till closing time all of them equipped with a lot of bags collecting all the goodies and give aways the exhibitors don't want to take home. They try to get free samples or heavily discounted ones.

    When it is finally 5 pm there is a big rush of exhibitors going out the doors with boxes and bags or suitcases and it can take a long time to catch a taxi if you don't want to spend extra for a stretch limo. :hammer:

    I hope everyone that went had a good time. I had a blast in Richmond and didn't miss New York at all.

    The last 5 hours in Richmond felt like 5 minutes. The whole weekend was over way too soon as far as I'm concerned. Between landing at noon Friday and leaving at noon Sunday felt like 2 hours not 2 days.

    Ten (10) hours per year (5 hours each at EXPO East and EXPO West) doesn't sound too bad. Try spending most of your weekend grading 25 written exams four (4)X per year. :cheers:
