Trip Report

Friday, January 11th, 2008

CES was not what I recall from 2003.  Overall, it was a profitable trip, but it did not meet my expectations.  Of course, I am a perfectionist and sometimes get disappointed if I set my goals too high.

The high points of the trip: finally hung out with Daisy Delfina after several missed connections.  Met up with Mackenzie for lunch one day.  Made a few contacts for the Superbowl.

Not pushin’ it

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I made it, checked in (even though the casino couldn’t find my confirmation number) had some happy hour 1/2 price sushi for my one “real food” meal of the day (sigh….it’s the truth when traveling… the other 4 meals are protein shakes and bars)

I could bust @$$ to get to Scores by 6 for the $40 house fee, or I could take my time getting ready and pay an extra $20.  I’m gonna go with option B.  Rushing around like a crazy chicken just never works out for me.  Aim for 7ish.

Goin’ to Vegas

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I’ve got this Vegas thing down to a science.  Believe it or not, I’m a minimalist and can fit everything I need into one conveniently sized leopard print carry-on suitcase.  Not too obvious, huh? At least I refuse to wear the off-duty stripper uniform, the hot pink velour tracksuit, while traveling.  I actually have fun dressing up in my “professional businesswoman” clothes, putting my hair in a bun, wearing my reading glasses, and flipping open my laptop to CNBC while at the airport.
