Halifax - Shoppers Conference

Kathleen and I left for Halifax on Friday (Nov. 3). After about 3 hours of driving, we got there, went shopping, and met Kathleen's friends for supper. Then Kathleen and I went out for a night on the town and stopped in at a few pubs. It wasn't too late of night; sessions started early the next AM.




I drove my car - which is a bit of a nightmare in Halifax, with driving circles, and roads that started out as crooked cart trails. But with Kathleen navigating, we managed to survive without any bruises.

The conference went pretty well. We went to a couple interesting sessions. Drug companies set up booths at an information fair and gave out lots of freebies. I got about 4 CEs (continuing education credits - we require 15/year.)

We stayed at a downtown hotel and got to the conference a couple blocks away via an underground pedway that tunnels around and connects parts of downtown Halifax.

Saturday night, we had a nice dinner, drinks and entertainment at the conference. Kathleen and I went out again to one of the favorite night-spots in the city - The Lower Deck. There was a band playing and some Keith's going around.... A typical Halifax night and lots of fun! We had sessions starting at 7:30 the next morning, and were a bit sleepy.
