Taking Routes: Cold, Wet, Dreary

We arrived back from Las Vegas last Saturday around 4:30 PM. LightFair 2014 was a fantastic trade show, lots of new products and technologies coming our way!
I'll post of couple of pictures here of the sight of Vegas!

The Casinos of Vegas!

The Candela Group took us to the Trade Show and they were amazing hosts. To our surprise, we were given tickets to attend the Shania Twain concert on Sunday. On Saturday, they had arranged a party bus to take us shopping. Monday they rented a cabana by the pool for the day for the group. There was a private dinner for the engineering firms at a expensive restaurant and we were included in that as well. When we left Las Vegas last Saturday, they had arranged a private limo to take us to the airport. BTW, we stayed at the MGM Grand! What a trip, lots of wonderful people and great times was enjoyed by all!

Concepts in lighting change with the times. Candela Group recognizes the need to orchestrate the initiation of those changes, by making the lighting designer aware of new technologies and styles, so that they may offer the best visual presentation for their client, while maintaining a budget that fits their needs.

I managed to get to the Bellagio, had to visit the conservatory to see the "summer" display...beautiful as always. Here are some images. I took some pretty neat pictures of the "dancing waters" as well outside the Bellagio. Have a peek!

Dancing waters (to music) beautiful

My new friend "Froggie"

At Christmas, the glass house was a snow storm, in March it was full of butterflies, June had all different types of birds

We went to, are you ready for this, Margaritaville on Saturday, two ladies walked in and sat down at the end of the bar. I heard them say they were from Ontario....well that peaked my interest....I got up and went to chat, apparently they live right around the corner from our home in Bowmanville....(and they thought, I would have no idea where B'ville was)...LOL Their names are Diane & Karen and I have since had emails from Diane...wonderful ladies! Couldn't resist telling them both how much I miss HOME! (Who knew!)

Margaritaville

Back to work tomorrow...oh joy! I thought I would post a pic of my work station....way too many projects for one person to handle (and this is only part of the projects).
