The flight to Orlando was a blur. At check in at the GTR airport, thank goodness they didn't weigh my one little piece of luggage. It was pretty heavy. Going through security, my computer bag was swabbed for some type of "undesirable" residue. Thank goodness (again) that the bag was a-ok. I'm guessing the large jewelry bag kind of freaked them out.
My "layover" in Atlanta was a whopping 34 minutes. After standing in the blistery, cold wind to get my computer bag from the commuter airplane, I walked very swiftly from the "D" terminal to "A". Not just from D to A, but from D1 to A1 - which means I had to walk the length of the terminal. I only managed a bathroom stop - no breakfast and no coffee.
Fast forward to Orlando (everything in between went ok). After I checked in to the hotel, I hopped on the I-Ride "trolley" to an outlet mall. I managed to go into at least 50 stores and only bought 1 pair of shoes (i needed sandles because I thought it would be colder and my feet were hot; walked out of the store wearing my sandles). Also bought 2 cokes using my debit card in the drink machine.
Picked up my registration materials at the conference center. The next few days will be busy with sessions and visiting vendors. My shopping and playtime is over with -
The end of my grand shopping extravaganza was a quick trip to Walgreens and then I stopped at every tacky souvenier store on the way. I love the tacky souveniers - it was really a treat to see how the stores "out do" each other with tackiness. You would NOT believe what Walgreens was selling: "Fresh Sushi Daily" That sign was on the door - seriously?
