Clean '07

The week of June 10-14th is a trade show that our company displays at. This is a biggie for us. It happens every 2-years and this year it's in Vegas. This was a tough trip for me since I haven't been away from Makayla for this long at all. The most has been just a couple of nights and I'm at the show for 4 nights without her. Ryan was going to join me and bring Makayla out but he's been working so much that he couldn't get away. But once I arrived at the Hilton, I'm glad they didn't join me. I forgot how smelly and smokey Vegas hotels/casinos can be when you're not around it all the time. Overall, we had a very successful and busy time at the show. It's hard work you know? You get up early, talk to customers all day long and work a full day at the show on your feet. Then afterwards while still in uniform and still at the convention center are cocktail parties that we host and attend. Then it's back to our hotels for 30 minutes to get ready and head out for dinner with customers, old Clean Show friends and Coin Laundry Associations for super nice dining. By the time I'm back in my room it always seem to be at least midnight and after a lot of wine, all to go back and do it all over again the next day. Very exhausting & fun at the same time. All in all it was a good time even though I missed my little girl dearly! Glad to be back home.
