The Vemma Convention is held every year, and  our trip from Australia to Vegas was well worth it.  We got to know the Vemma Company owners and all the Leaders, and heard  Dr Mehmet Oz,  Daphne Oz, Jim Brogan, and Dr Shad Helmstetter speak. 

We saw the release of the 
Your Business At Home Magazine, the Pre-mixed version of the Vemma Nutritional Product ( tastes even yummier), the Fridge Pack, and much more.  Check our Vemma Team Blog   for the rest.

Kenny and Diane drove all day from Arizona, to come and see us. It was fantastic to see them.  We've known Diane for  5 years, talking to her on the phone numerous times and even more times by email.  At last we met in person!

We left home at 5.30 am on Saturday, 3rd February ( in Australia ), drove to Brisbane, and caught the plane to Sydney ( a 45 minute flight). Then, we caught the plane from Sydney to  Los Angeles which took about 12 hours. 

From LA, we took the short flight to Vegas, arriving around 11 am on Saturday, 3rd February ( in the United States ).  By then, it was 5 am on Sunday in Australia, so it took us about 24 hours to get from our home to Vegas.

The apartment we stayed in was beautiful, with a view of some of the lights of Vegas.  We had our own kitchen,  a large Spa bath, large lounge with a widescreen TV, on which we watched  Oprah interview the Leaders from The Secret.

This is the biggest Hotel in the world, and even has it's own medical centre.  The Lions are brought in every day for just a few hours, from their Ranch where they are bred and raised.  When it's time for them to go home, they play around a bit, and put off leaving.  The owner has to wait until they are ready, although he encourages them a little.
