Leaving on a jet plane...

Don't know when I'll be back again. Well actually, I will be back on Wednesday night. I am blogging from Dallas, Texas where I am attending a conference. Going to a conference sounded like a good idea a few months ago, but now I am not so sure I want to be away from home this long.

I did not do the best job selecting a flight to get here either....my co-worker and I traveled from Manchester to Baltimore to Oklahoma City and then to Dallas! What a trip! Amazingly, Southwest Airlines actually got us here 25 minutes early! They run a tight ship.

The hotel tried to put me in some sort of suite - which seemed good at first. As I looked around the suite I could not find a bed and then realized the bed for the room was a Murphy bed that was recessed in the wall. I did not think that was going to work out and I spoke up to get a proper room!

I should not complain and will think of this conference as a little mini-vacation. The hotel is nice and I have a great co-worker attending with me so I'll have someone to talk to and to hang out with in the evenings.

Here is the hotel I am staying at:


The Hilton Anatole in Dallas...
