’17 RECAP
The shows within the show
Luncheons and evenings at Travel Exchange ’17 were filled with parties at top local attractions and
dazzling shows by marquee performers.
I have to say the Deep in the
Heart of Texas party was the
best event I have seen at recent NTA
conventions. It was great to see so
many people genuinely enjoying
themselves, so many people dancing—
including some you would not expect
to be dancing—great food, fun cowboy
pics and, all in all, fun that really
felt like a party!

My favorite moment
was the party at
Grotto on the River Walk:
great food, the River Walk
boat tour, dancing and a
cowboy photo …
unforgettable!

While all the events were wonderful, I thoroughly
enjoyed the dine-arounds I attended. They were
a great way to relax and get to know people on a more
in-depth level. I also had a blast at the opening event at
the Witte Museum! What a surreal experience to have this
incredible museum and the exhibits to ourselves. (And the
mariachi band that greeted us when we entered was
icing on the cake—just outstanding!)

Everyone loves a birthday party, but a 300th
birthday with dinosaurs, drinks, dancing and
cake?! It was the perfect opening night icebreaker!
