In DC for a conference. Really excited about the conference - looks like it's going to be some great information! Not so excited about being away from my family...it's only a few days but I'll miss them. I left early this morning too so I didn't get to say goodbye. Not like I would have liked.
They did call me while I was at the airport once they all woke up but it's not the same as a sweet little hug and kiss. M told me it wasn't fair that I got to get on a plane and she didn't and she was very concerned about how I would get on the plane, since it was still dark outside. Once we boarded I took a picture of myself on the plane to send her. It was a little embarrassing, smiling like a dork and taking a picture of myself but I thought she would think it was cool. I also took a picture down the aisle of the cabin so she could see what the inside looked like. Also embarrassing. It's a good thing I don't have any pride.
Not super pumped about the location either. Don't get me wrong, I love DC, it's an amazing place. But I've been here for several other conferences and spent a summer doing an internship here...so there isn't a lot that's been unexplored. And I don't know many people attending and of those that I do know, most are heavily involved and won't have a lot of time to socialize.
I brought some work with me, thought this would be some perfect catch up time. But no wifi in the hotel rooms. Really, no wifi? That stinks! I can access it from the lobby but I don't think I'll be dragging myself out to the lobby for that...pretty sure none of these nice folks cares to see me all trashed out in my comfy clothes...
