Fort Lauderdale Air and Sea Show 2012
Air and Sea Show Fort Lauderdale 2012 started off gloomy with thunderstorms, but the Thunderbirds blew them away with mighty jet engines. Fans came out in droves. Not a spot on the beach to sit if you didn’t get there early enough!
I am hoping that they come again next year! And even bigger, I am sure all the vendors did well today, bringing in great business! You found hotdogs, shish ca bobs, candy apples, model air planes and many more.
Big companies like Ford giving out FREE binoculars so you could see the planes up close! In all it was a great show and if you didn’t get to make it out on Saturday, I hope the rain stops long enough for you to see it today.
Enjoy the show! Continue reading
Air and Sea Show a Flying Success
The start today was rain and bad thunderstorms. All I could think was, there goes our plans for the Air and Sea show. We were up at 5am this morning, my husband took the dogs out and saw all the clouds outside, minutes later, lightening appear and then came the thunder. That woke the kids up and we just looked at each other and said oh wells.
Couple hours later the storms started to pass and an update on Facebook said they were going ahead with the show. So we packed up and went. Found the perfect spot. Most people were charging anywhere from $15 to $20 dollars to park, even the Gallera Mall was charging $20. We drove around and we found a street with plenty of parking and no one charging! Yes we thought to each other!
We had to walk over the bridge since its the farthest we could go, because it was blocked off. We took the beach umbrella and the regular one, since the clouds were out in full. Took some time to find a spot to sit and watch the show, since we got there at 12pm right at the start of the show.
There were plenty booths, selling food and drinks, model air planes, army and navy apperal. Ford cars was there, if you filled out one of the slips you were entered to win one of the cars there, plus they handed out binoculars.
We were there for at least 2 hours, then the rain starting to come. We started to leave but got to see more of the show as we were walking to the car. Still was great!
If you were not able to make it out today, I hope you can make it tomorrow. If you still can’t make it out, I hope you enjoy these small clips I was able to get. Those plans are fast, and sometimes was not sure which way they were coming!

My question to you?
Do you prefer Foursquare or Yelp?
OK this is a silly question, but would like to know what your opinion is. Do you prefer Foursquare or Yelp. They seem to be both the same, Check in, Reviews, Badges, mayorship. I see a difference where you can chat with others in the area on Yelp. Some have posted questions and we can answer.
I am also seeing that people can compliment you and leave reviews for you on Yelp, something that I have not seen on Foursquare. Another thing that I have also found out is that the iPhone 4S Siri uses Yelp when locating restaurants, gyms and even Real Estate companies when you ask for her opinion. She is using these reviews on Yelp. Now whether or not this is true, am I not sure. Maybe you can answer that question for me? I think both are big for us in the Real Estate industry. It shows how much we know about particular areas, as far as communities, apartment complexes, best places to get the best deal and where to eat. More and more people will connect with us there and should be used more often.
I have been using Foursquare for some time now and just now have joined Yelp. The thing is there is so much social media, and the common problem in this industry is which one does the consumer prefer? I want to be able to connect on your most favorite sites so we can build a friendship.
So in your opinion which do you think is better?
Are we friends on Foursquare or Yelp? If not click on the links above and let’s connect, and lookout for a Review Request from Yelp because your opinion of my service matters.

Air and Sea show is Back! This weekend!
Its Back!!
The Air and Sea Show is back and its this weekend! I have been looking forward to this for a very long time! It has been years since it has been here. It had something to do with a contract with the City of Fort Lauderdale. If you have lived in Fort Lauderdale you will remember how big it used to be, (McDonalds and CBS would sponsor), and now its back and I can’t help but be excited. I get to take my kids to see and experience for themselves the beauty of this show.
Fleet Week 
Its also Fleet Week and the ships should be docking in soon. We got to tour several ships last year. I missed the registration for this year, but with the show will make up for it.
We have to go early and pick a good spot, the beach gets packed real fast, and I want to get some good views!
Remembering!
One year I went and spent close to 6 hours on the beach watching the show. The very next day I was red as a lobster and got Sun Posioning. I swelled up so bad I didn’t look like myself. Couldn’t even go into work the next day. This year that won’t happen, plan on buying a beach umbrella.
Have you been to an Air and Sea Show?
If you have been to one of the Air and Sea shows would love to hear about it. Better yet send me any pictures you have would love to feature it. And If you go this weekend send me those as well!.
