Not quite the entire story...
Well, I'm just not ready for the official post CCCC's write up, and here's why...
1. Missed my flight Saturday morning due to the fact that they stop allowing you to get your boarding pass 45 minutes prior to boarding.
2. I missed the cut off by 5 minutes.
3. Spent the next 36 hours trying to get home.
4. Finally get home at 1 a.m. Monday, with sever knee pains that require an emergency room visit (more on that one later!)
5. Luggage? Right...mine is still on the missing list, and of course, as the novice presenter I felt compelled to pack virtually all of my dress/professional clothing, which may now be lost forever, along with my travel receipts that I need to get reimbursed for the trip.
6.You know in Spanish we say "no hay mal que por bien no venga". Loose English translation: every cloud has a silver lining. My silver lining came in the form of a one night stay at the Best Western which only cost $50 a night, and kicked the Palmer House in the nalga (you can figure that one out, right?) when it came to value, comfort, and amenities! Free internet (both wireless AND high speed), free chargers for any cell phone, free coffee and bottled water, free printing, and a restaurant that provides room service at a mere 15% of your total check. I wonder how close the Best Western in Nashville is to the Opryland Hotel (where the NCTE convention will be held in November)? If it's not too far away, they can count on me as their new loyal and faithful customer!
The official write up and pics should be on later this week...si Dios quiere!
