Location : Cleveland, OH
Long day. But fun.
Left Cleveland at 3:45 and made it to the hotel nearly four hours later. Along the way:
- Met a friend from a previous life while waiting for luggage. We even found ourselves on the same "Magic Bus" (yes, that is a Who reference).
- Met another friend while waiting for the luggage. Her co-worker made it to Orlando a little earlier than us.
- Watched a wicked rain storm that basically shut down the Magic Bus loading. Had to wait for that to lessen before they would allow us to board the bus.
- Discovered, as I thought, that the last shuttle from the Dolphin was at 9. Too late for me to register or make it to ESPN. :-(
- While waiting to check-in, struck up a conversation with the person in front of me. Seems that we share a mutual friend (she works with him). The interesting part was that she told me where she worked and I asked if she knew Christopher. Spent a little time "talking shop" which was nice.
- Was given a room number that doesn't exist. Funny, actually. At least I had the presence of mind to find the hotel phone by one of the ice machines to call the Front Desk. They, too, thought it was funny that my room "doesn't exist on this plane of existence." Corrected in a few minutes.
But the room? Close to the Lotusphere shuttle service. And at Caribbean Beach, that is huge. Did you know that they have a resort bus service to get around the place?
Lotusphere hasn't officially started and already I am having a good time. Only in Orlando.
