Christina’s Highlight in February?
The NADA conference in San Francisco!!
Wow! How fast the time goes by.
So many things are going on. I thought I should tell you about my latest journey.
At the beginning of February I got the chance to go to San Francisco to NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) Convention and Expo 2008 with Larry and Marty. It’s one of the biggest shows in North America.
We had to represent two new clients – vAuto and Compared Insurance.
It was awesome! Not only to get the chance to go to San Francisco, which is such a lovely, busy and sunny city, but also to experience the convention at first hand.

I was working for vAuto and one of my tasks was to take care for the Press Kits.
I had to assemble them, put them into the press room at the convention center, to take part at an interview between the client and a publication and at vAuto’s sales meeting with their people before the show on Friday. We had to be present at vAuto’s booth to welcome journalists and to be able to hand them a press kit. We also had several media dinners with clients and journalists.
There was not much time left, but I was blessed that I could stay at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in downtown. From the restaurant at the 36th floor I could see the Golden Gate and the Bay Area. You got a wonderful overlook of the city and it was easy to explore the city and to get to the convention center. The only “tour” I made was on Sunday night when I went to Fisherman’s Wharf.
Most of my stay I enjoyed the gorgeous weather, which was so different to Detroit at that time. It was sunny all the time and we had up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit!
When I came back home to Detroit we had a snowstorm and we got 10 inches fresh snow the next day.
San Francisco and NADA was a great experience!

What a trip... I'm glad you could enjoy the weather. It's snowing again in Michigan.
