Am most relieved to have finally made it to Las Vegas. Getting here was not that easy…
It started with the “slight delay” (i.e. 40 minutes) leaving the ground at Pearson and was followed shortly thereafter with BIG TIME turbulence for the majority of the trip, an overhead reading light which acted more like a strobe light and made me feel nauseous, and a screaming two year old stretched out across her parents lap beside me for the duration of the four hour flight.
Note to parents everywhere: If you have to fly with young children please be considerate and drug the little ones in advance. People do it with animals. Why not kids too?
I was worried that this trip was going to end up like my Lakeland, Florida business trip of 2005. I won’t go into all the gory details on that one but let’s just say it involved a $100+ cab ride, bad directions (damn you MapQuest!), a customer that went AWOL, a hotel stay at AmeriSweet Hell (along with all the competitors in the Florida Wrestling State Championships) and a flight back that had me rerouted to Philadelphia for an overnight stay due to a severe winter storm.
So in comparison, this trip is faring much better.
I just finished day one of the conference I’m attending and it’s been great! Have met some cool people and I have yet to suffer from a nose bleed or cracked lips. (The weather here often does that to me.)
Things are looking up!
