Have fun!!! Wish I could go!! :)

I bought a small "wallet on a string" type purse (goes crossways across my body) for the Cincinnati show. Hold everything I need and is small, lightweight and handy. I also have a light nylon backpack I use to carry my purchases.

The girls won't mind, I'll feel safer, and it might raise and eyebrow or two when I reach for the card. :)

All the vendors are happy to take cash, credit card and some will even take a personal check with ID. I usually have lots of pockets and an over the shoulder (across the body) bag. Good pair of shoes (well broken in) fashion stops at the knees. Comfortable clothes. Leave fashion at home, for me is jeans a pull over shirt and light sweatshirt type jacket for when its cold. Keep a mini umbrella in my bag and a small flashlight. I know that sounds strange, but have had power outage a couple times in a huge auditorium. It really gets dark in there then. Pull out my tiny light and I'm still shopping. grin.

My credit card company called me asking if I was in China - I wasn't so they did the same for me - cancelled my card and reissued a new one. We were going to go to Belgium a couple of weeks later so I called them and said. "I'll be in Belgium so don't worry if you see charges from there." Always a good idea so that they don't stop a transaction.
