I just came back from the first First2Board Session in Charleston, SC and I had a fantastic time. Not only did I get to meet my F2B family but I got to learn some tips and tricks from fellow bloggers and got to experience a lot of what Charleston has to offer. Here is the schedule<\/a> that had taken place and here are some brief highlights of the trip:<\/p>\n

Saturday presentations included The Mr. Pickles who shared his background and some tips and tricks which I will definitely use and The Frugal Travel Guy Rick Ingersoll who shared his whole blogger experience, what he is doing today and more about his charity Our Chance to Give<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many of our First2board bloggers also presented with tips about Southwest Airlines from Frugal Travel Lawyer, Mileage Running from Point Summary, and Family Travel from Indulge the Wonderlust and Deal Mommy which were also great presentations.<\/p>\n
