Great Bridal Expo : Sept 18th NYC


Verdict: 1/5


GBE LogoNEW YORK MARRIOTT MARQUIS
1535 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

Last night I attended the Great Bridal Expo in NYC at the Marriott Marquis in the heart of the city.

I have to admit that I work a couple of blocks away and I do not get to enjoy NYC enough. I was excited about walking over to 42nd.

This is the description provided by  Great Bridal Expo website:

Bridal Guide is proud to be a part of the 
The Great Bridal Expo
, the nation's largest touring bridal exhibition. The expo features aisles of top wedding professionals, fashion shows with the latest in bridal attire, and chances to win fabulous giveaways such as honeymoons, gowns, home furnishings and more. Find the show nearest you and start planning the wedding of your dreams today!


When I was looking for a bridal event to attend, I wasn't sure about this one because it promises to be the biggest bridal show, but their website doesn't say much.( except for the above). I ended up getting a ticket because I found a discount code which made the event free. The event was also very close to my job, so I wasn't going out of my way.

How was it? In my opinion very poorly planned.
Line:
The line was extremely long, but it went pretty quickly so it wasn't too bad of a wait. While waiting, it was extremely hot. I had to take off my cardigan. I though it was just me getting hot-flashes, but no, other people were taking off some of the garments as well.
Vendors:
Lots of vendors. Most of the same category. Photographer after photographer. Travel agency here and there. 
The event was overcrowded. Perhaps, if they organized properly, they should consider time-slots. I couldn't get to the booths. I think we talked to maybe less then half, maybe less then a quarter, of the vendors.
They had only one florist- who sponsored the event- so, that wasn't biased at all. A couple of venues and Tons, I mean tons of photographers with a few random vendors here and there.
Verdict:

My Trip: My feet hurt !!!


My feet in Pain!!

So, I attended a career fair as part of my business trip.

The career fair had a great turnout. Our table had an immense line. We had people to talk too from opening to close. Total of 4 hours. I drank 4 bottles of water. My throat is still dry.

But my FEET. My FEET were killing me. I normally could handle those hours in heels, not today.

After the career fair I had to attend another event. My feet needed some rest.

I drove to kohl's really quickly I got these nice pair of flats. The retail price was 59.99. On sale for $34.99. Then I used the snipsnap app for 3 $10 coupons. I paid only $5.19. 
Simply Vera Vera Wang Ballet Flats - Women

Got me a new pair of flats. Love them. Love the price even more. Only $5.19.

Car Rental Gone WRONG: Goodbye Enterprise. Hi, Avis.


I have a work function to attend and I need a car rental. Enterprise was calling me.


Enterprise. I always use them. I got my license pretty late ( not the normal 16 ), and I remember passing my road test and going straight to Enterprise. That was a great day.

Today!!!!! Not so much.

I made my reservation. Got there for pick. The crew was pleasant as usual.
The contract process began. The manager advised me they couldn't rent me the car because I had another car rental out. It was personal rental and this a corporate rental. But that didn't matter to them!!!!

I had to find another rental within half hour to take on my four lonely drive.

I asked why did their system allowed me to RSVP. Their system doesn't realize the conflict until they are actually processing the rental.

I was fortunate enough that my company has a concierge who did all the leg work to get me the new rental.

The new rental was with Avis. I have found a new love. Avis had gps. They had Easy Pass. I got a free upgrade from full size to an SUV ( granted all companies do this when they don't have the size vehicle you reserved).

I love the set up of the shop.

I was in and out within 10 minutes (enterprise normally takes about 30 minutes if there's no line ).

Enterprise is now out. Welcome Avis.
