Saturday
Vendor wandering day!
After running about the vendor floor, and not getting to see everything, it was time to head to the four seasons for tea with some fabulous people. I took a Taxi and it broke down on the way! It was a mess, it broke down in the middle of the road and I had to walk a long while to the next hotel and then wait 15 minutes for another taxi. And I had to pay!
Luckily everyone waited for me, or maybe because it was on my credit card they had to (sorry!) either way it was a fabulous and filling affair.

Attending:
@TeaMoment, @BingleysTeas, @teabytiffany, Tea and Hats, Scandalous Tea, Lord and Lady Devotea, @rachelkcarter and her husband, Tegan Woo, and another person whose blog handle escapes me 🙁
Due to the length of the tea I missed the US Tea Growers Meeting 🙁 Does anyone have notes from it?
Note From World of Tea – “Where #tea is grown in the United States: http://ow.ly/lC8Xl”

Following that I went home and poured over vendor handouts to see which I could eliminate, which I needed samples from, and which I needed more information from.
Then there was sleep.

I remember @teaarchives being there. Ot did I dream it? It was fabulous the way you forced a top Vegas hotel/Casino complex to do what you wanted. “Afternoon Tea not available on Saturdays? I don’t think so”.

Totally inappropriate. World tea expo is that weekend you really out to have tea.
Sorry no tea on weekends.
What will it take to have tea for me and some friends?
A private event with a deposit and a minimum of 10 people.
Done. Here is my credit card now you are having the full tea menu Saturday.
