The 1998 PMA confernece was in New Orleans, United States. I flew from London to Housten, and then on Flight CO 1631 Housten to New Orleans. I was editor representing Digital PhotoFX.PMA 1997 was in New Orleans, United States. We went over four four days flying Continental London to Houston Flight CO 5 Seat 38F and Housten to New Orleans on Flight CO 1631 Seat 25A . We stopped in the Marriott
Agfa invited us on a Dinner Jazz Cruise on the PaddleWheeler Creole Queen and we took ourselves off on Captain Terry’s Swamp Tour on Esperanza Plantation.
I was so ill on that trip from a weird flu like sinus infection were my eyes where weeping and I had the most intense headache.
Memorable moments were the what seamed like plastic alligators on the swamp tour, Roger coming back from a night out totally enthused by a man who could play a tray with his fingers, and Warren playing the flaming Sambuka game and not realising you don’t span your hand out when placing it over the glass.
