Once in the hotel, I received a tote full of goodies and our itinerary. At dinner, I met many of the bloggers and listened to their past experiences.They described last years event for the movie SAFE HAVEN in Southport, NC. I gleaned much info for formulating my questions for the next day. My granddaughter Laurel and I had just watched the movie the night before.
The next day we were shuttled out to Magnolia Plantation, a lovely southern antebellum in Natchitoches Parish,Louisiana. Since this was to be the last day of shooting at this location, much needed to be accomplished. Taking a quick tour of the outside facilities, we were in a tent watching the filming on monitors. Our observation tent moved around the set to help facilitate the interviewing process.

After lunch, Nicholas was finally able to join us. He is such a personable and magnetic man who is involved in all facets of the movie. Having seen all his other movies(I have personal copies) and read all his books, this was a special treat for me. Nicholas had just participated in his first Twitter Party the night before and we had many of the same questions. He quickly put us at ease and set up the parameters of the interview process.
