For the 72nd KA National Convention. So far its pretty exciting. Vu and I caught a red eye at 12:30am from Portland and flew to Houston, a 4 hour flight with minimal sleep, and then had an hour layover before our 1 hour flight to San Antonio.
We changed into our formal wear in the lobby bathroom at our hotel and then trecked over to the hotel where the convention was at. We had several hours to kill so we checked out the San Antonio Riverwalk and the Alamo. Pretty nifty.
We ate lunch at the Lone Star Cafe (I think that was the name). I got a steak for $7 and Vu got a country fried steak for $6, good food for the money. While we were eating another KA walked in and we invited him to our table. We found out he got into town and didn’t have a hotel room so now he’s staying with us. He’s a pretty cool guy from Oglethorpe, Georgia his name is Ben.
After lunch we headed back the the Hyatt hotel where convention is being held. Convention orientation started at 1:00pm and the actual convention started at 2:00pm. It was pretty formal, lots of speeches and recognition and stuff. It is cool seeing all of the KA national leaders in one place. I’ve met most all of them before at various venues like province council, the crusade roundtable and NLI but, having them all sitting in front of you in a formal setting is pretty intense.
After the convention session was over we went to a rodeo at a ranch outside of town. It was pretty cool, there were couple of cute cowgirls there and they had several events including bull riding and things like that. I took lots of pictures and videos (which are presently downloading to my PC and will shortly be in a gallery on this page).
I’ll try to update some more as convention continues. We’re having a great time!

It is exciting to be at Convention and a part of KA history - a lot of important things have happened over the years at Conventions just like the one you are at.
Have fun and enjoy!
Best wishes.
