Overall it was not a bad travel day. Oh sure, I was up way too early, but that was about the only issue from yesterday. I didn't get either of my upgrades, but I slept the entire PDX to DFW flight and from DFW to Charlotte I had an empty seat next to me. That's almost as good as an upgrade. I was a bit squished on the first flight but again, I slept through the whole thing so whatever. No delays, had an hour between flights which gave me long enough to get some soup at least at the club. I got in to Charlotte about 4:45, found my car at 5, and was at my hotel about 5:40. I got a bright yellow camaro on this trip. Man talk about standing out like a sore thumb. Not a big fan of the car though. It's too low to the ground and I felt like I couldn't see anything. I unpacked and based on the advice of the front desk, went to an Irish pub nearby for dinner. Had pork chops which while a little tough were okay. Headed back to the hotel and ironed. Around 8:30 I decided to find a grocery store to pick up some stuff for the week. I did get randomly complimented on the car which was amusing. Got back to the hotel, watched some tv, and went to bed around 10. Nothing exciting.
Now to do two days if teaching and head right back home on Thursday. A quick 5000 miles and 3 hotel nights. A good way to slip back into the routine. Next week I have four days as well then a full five days of classes. Back in the saddle again.
I used my new player on the trip. Worked out well. Great sound, a few little weird things about screen options, but I think it's more me just getting used to it.
