Maybe it would had been quicker to drive

Getting to CancerCon was way more stress then it was worth but I am happy to report I am here. So it started with our plane being 2 hours late (yippy). Once we were up it was "mostly" smooth sailing until 10:32 (CST) When we started hitting a few bumps but it was not as bad as it could have been, It just takes some time to get used to that feeling again. Around that point in the flight were I really wish I could have fallen asleep but I known that it would had been a bad idea as we are so close to landing. With it being so late I was so happy that a dear family friend will be picking me up so that I don't have to take the van (means I can check in quicker). There were a few kids on the flight but really they are all doing really good, hearing giggles behind me reminds me how much I miss my little man. I know this trip is a good thing it doesn't stop me from missing him & Chris like crazy. Last time I want on a trip like this Next year I think this will be a family trip, true I will miss out on some stuff  but we could still hang out from dinner on & that would only be for 2 nights.

So some random Thoughts from my flight
* Oh the "slow down feeling" is so odd.
* touch screen spells trouble when the ride gets bumpy.
* Bag only weighed 26 lbs ... it really seemed like it was closer to 40 lbs


The drive to the hotel was easy (but LONG) check was almost the same about of time. I guess they were having problems with their keys & 3 people were helping a group of men who all wanted to pay cash I guess (not really sure what was going on) there was 1 guy in front of me who said he was waiting for 30 mins to check in (I kinda believe him as it was really THAT slow). So once I finally made my way to the counter I was greeted by a very nice lady that also said Happy Birthday to me (as my birthday is next week) .

Finding the room was a little of a hike but that's ok(it seems to always happen to me). Once I opened the door to my room I found a sweet Birthday card, bottle of wine, orange, truffles, & some AMAZING strawberries dipped in chocolate. I guess they gave all this to me because I had signed up for the loyalty program when I booked the room.  I want to say I fell in to the bed & passed out but that would be so far from the truth, my mind was racing so much that I ended up only getting a few hours of sleep.

And that is the end of Day 0
