Day 0
A brief summary so far. I made it to the airport, but had to assist a driver that had ran over a light pole about 2 minutes outside the airport. I get inside, only to end up behind an older woman traveling with a fragile item (a rather large framed picture) that doesn't speak good English. As patient as the TSA folks were, she was trying the patience of everyone in line. She didn't want her picture to go through the metal detector, didn't want to remove her coat, and didn't want to remove her scarf. She didn't have a problem though removing her shoes. Very strange. There was no one in line when we cleared the ID checkpoint, but by the time we made it through the metal detector, there were probably 20 of us waiting to get through.
On to the gate, stopping off at Peat's for some coffee, only to find out for some reason that it was closed.
That's unfortunate. It's the best coffee stops in the airport. Anyway, I ended up having to go to Starbuck's. I prefer Peat's, but I had to make do.
I should be at the hotel in a few hours, and will post more when I'm in. Educational series tomorrow, with the first keynote scheduled for 9 AM pacific on Tuesday, April 1st. Hopefully no April Fool's jokes.
