Why I Shouldn’t Be in Charge of My Own Travel

I’ll be the first to admit that my DEN:BOS:DEN:NY:DEN itinerary was less than ideal, but I really hadn’t digested just how asinine my plans were until I groked the fact that after returning home at midnight on Wed I had to be back at the airport 7 the next morning (in my defense, my kit was happy to see me, if only for a few hours). Somehow I had misled myself into believing I was leaving midday rather than first thing in the AM – big mistake. You know you’re in trouble when you’re eyeing spots in the economy lot as you pick up your car b/c you know you’ll be back in a few hours – it reminded me of some evil days as an SI where the USA Today arrived outside my hotel room before I did. So the next time I plan back to back itineraries, someone do me a favor and remind me how I just dozed off while typing.

Right now I owe you a second day OSBC account and – more interesting to a lot of you, I suspect – some thoughts on this event which I was lucky enough to attend. Unfortunately, both will have to wait as I’m about to head home via Dulles. While I booked my return trip by selecting the longest layover available to me in connecting flights, what do you think the odds are I get home on time? For those of you not familiar with my travel luck, I highly recommend you not take that bet.

Anyhow, I’ll be heading right back out again Monday morning for a quick swing to San Fran/Santa Clara, and I’m going to have to work most of Sunday, but right now my plans involve nothing more significant than sleeping till noon tomorrow.
