Captain's Log - 7/8/2007.... the Blog Tour USA RV pulled into South Beach Florida on the busiest and possibly hottest beach day of the season so far. Ocean Drive was BOUNCIN'... and spinners were SPINNIN'...the Cafe Cubano was ESPUMATIN'... man it feels good to be a gangster!
I met Joe while he was outside stretching his legs and chatting up the locals. The thermometer on Ocean Drive showed it was 105 degrees!... but it was a HUMID heat so we had to head into the RV.
I was the first guest as I had been chasing them around since they drove through Palm Beach County!
Let's put it this way... these are some nice guys. They know their stuff and so did all the other people that joined us.
I met some great people... had some great conversations... did a video interview or two... and enjoyed some great tips with the guys.
Who was there?
Rudy and Joe from Sellsius...- Adam Kujacznski from Condo.com (300K+ listings!)
- Peter Santiago of Santiago Labs
- Gerald and Trisha Posner... two local celebrities, authors and all around great people who I had a lot in common with.
I had more pictures than I cared to put in just one post so there is a collage... click on it for the full size pic to pop up and scare you...(maximize the window to get a full sized pic!)

David - I had so much fun with the guys today as well - they are a lot of fun.
Rudy....you guys are already there? wow!
David, we had a great time with you, Peter, Adam, Gerald and Trisha. Thanks so much for taking the time to visit with us and share your experiences.
Hi David,
I see where the confusion came in aside from the names we are both successful writers, willowy redheads and from what you have said about Trisha, nice people too boot :-) I think I would have been confused as well LOL
Will you be at Inman? I am looking forward to meeting folks there. If you are coming, be sure to find me and say hi.
Take care, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!

Hey David,
After reading your post, it reminded me of why I like the sun and cuban coffee so much, Man it would be nice to do that often...

Peter - glad to meet you as well.. I like your blog... let's get a cafe cubano sometime in Aventura!

Joe - thanks for the time! I learned a lot from you guys!
Tisza - I've got a redhead to show you :)... my kid pics, my son :)
Tom - it's not THAT long a drive! And Havana Restaurant in WPB has a walk up window
I am getting hungry, David I think i'm going to break my diet, thanks for the info. :0)
But hey it's a walk up window, that's a little exercise for me..
Tom
I hate to say I missed this bus. I was driving a different kind of bus, actually a Boeing...lol. I am glad you made it though and I will have to catch them sometime in the future.
