Home Sweet Home

My hotel room. Had plenty of pillows.

Dinner at Buca's.


The limo that brought me to the hotel--me and only me.
I finally made it home tonight. Had to really book it to make my connecting flight in Minneapolis. The plane landed in Minneapolis with 25 minutes until my Des Moines flight started boarding. I was, however, in the last row of the plane so the last one off. I got to my gate as they were boarding first class. Good to be home and see Roger. Can't wait to see the grand children tomorrow night at Jeremy's birthday. Sorry Jeremy and Sarah about not getting home in time to watch Jaren.

All in all, the trip was good and I'm coming back with some good ideas and things to think about.

Indianapolis

Another night in Indianapolis. At least tonight I didn't have to eat microwave popcorn for dinner. Our group (16 of us) took the hotel shuttle to Buca for dinner. No one in my group had ever eaten there before so I had to explain to them about family-style dining. We were seated at the Pope's table and I sat next to the "Pope." When I received my bill I was surprised at the total--only $13 something (I had two glasses of Merlot). It was only after I got back to the hotel I realized I only paid for two merlots. Oh well.

I was going to share some pictures from dinner but can't get my computer to read my memory stick tonight (it worked fine last night).

See everyone tomorrow night.

What has happened to free WI-FI?

I'm sitting in the lobby of a Hilton Hotel in Indianapolis because they want to charge me $9.95 per day for wi-fi access in my room. Des Moines International Airport also wanted to charge for Wi-Fi. What happened to free WI-FI?

Did this layout while waiting for my flight to take off from Des Moines yesterday using Nicole Young's "GiggleLand Kit." I love this kit.


My ride from the airport to the hotel was in a limo--my first limo ride with no one to share it with. I'll post pictures soon.
