Things I Learned My Last Trip

During my last trip I had stops in Cleveland, Annapolis, Baltimore and Las Vegas. During this trip I learned many new things and I thought I would share them:
1. It really pays to be a Frequent Flyer, especially when your flight to your final destination is canceled and you are scheduled to teach the following morning.
2. Always pack more knitting in your carry-on than you think you will need. You never know when your flight will be canceled and will be rerouted through Atlanta making your trip 6 hours longer than planned.
3. You can never have enough knitting buddies. OK we all know that, but they are particularly helpful when you have an interesting design problem and need help resolving it.
4. Writing a book is more difficult than I thought and I already thought it would hard -- more on this later.
5. Lots of fluids and vitamin C really can manage a cold down to nearly nothing. Especially when you have to make a presentation in front of a room full of people and you don't want to have to worry about the effects of other medications.
6. Seeing a Cirque du Soleil performance live is truly amazing and worth the money, but next time I am going to get seats a bit further back (we were in the second row) because there is too much to see!


Next time, more trip details.
