I got up and left the house later than I wanted to, but I got there in plenty of time. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get to the airport from my house. I got there, checked my bag, and met up with my traveling companion, Judy.
The flight was uneventful, and seemed pretty short. We found out that the arrangements to have us picked up were out the window. Sales dude got delayed in Chicago, and was 1 1/2 hours from the airport while we were ready to go. We took a cab to the hotel. $40! Holy Crap! Although work will reimburse me when we get back, I'm out $20 of my already small traveling budget. Judy and I split the cost.
After grabbing some lunch in the hotel restaurant, we started setting up the booth. What a pain in the neck. Part of it didn't get here, so we're hoping to get it in the morning. The trade show starts at 11, so we better be done by then!
Tonight, Judy and I sat in my room and watched The Devil Wears Prada. Good flick, really. I didn't have high hopes for it, but I enjoyed it after all. Now, I'm getting ready to head to bed. It's almost midnight here, but my body says it's 11. Either way, time for bed.
What is it with burgundy and green carpet in hotels? Oh yeah, I've asked that before. What's with the gaudy furniture in hotels? Oh yeah, I've asked that before. hmmm. My task for tomorrow is to find things to photograph that I have NOT done before. Mindless drivel must remain FRESH at all times, right?

Rachel, glad you know about those nasty hotel glasses, Yuck !!!!!!!!!! Hugs Lisa
I have to wonder if you're staying at one of the same hotels I was in during all those trips for Garfield meetings. Indy is pretty blah, huh?

$40 for a cab? Yikes!

I heard about the awful glasses. GROSS! Nice bed, though! I like a lot of pillows.
Pam
I love all those pillows! (and I wouldn't drink from that nasty glass, either!)
