On the road again.

I love travel.

Oh, I stress and I flail and I wave my hands around and I wail about how much time it's going to kill, but at the end of the day, I love travel. I love that moment of weightlessness when the plane leaves the ground, when you realizes you're no longer strictly under gravity's command. I love knowing that when I land, I'll be breathing different air, in a different city, where the rules are different. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I tend to be crazy-productive on planes.

(I am, however, seriously considering bringing CASH-MONEY BRIBES on my flight to Montreal. "Hi. I'm a working author, and I have deadlines. I will give you twenty dollars to not recline your seat on my laptop for the first three hours of this trip.")

My bags are packed for San Diego. I'm not sure whether I'll have Internet, but if I do, I'll keep you posted as to what's going on. If you're going to be there, you need to come to Saturday night's panel. Trust me on this one. You'll be sorry if you don't. If you're not going to be there, I'll miss you, I'll see you when I'm back, and I'll be awesome.

Because I can. Because that's what it means to be a Disney Halloweentown Princess.

Watch me.

SAturday night panel? I thought it was a book signing... I am going to be there for your Thursday morning panel!

It's a panel and a book signing, and you'll be sorry if you miss it.

Yes, I know I will. Must make certain to try to fit in - this is the one that is not in the convention center right? Love my iphone, will be able to get address from your previous posting.

It was awesome!

It was the best non-tv panel that I went to all weekend.

Told you so!

Yes, you did. You were right. All hail the awesome Seanan!

Yeah, that's what I love about flying too: the differences in G-force. :)

Have a great time.

Flying is just an awesome way to cuddle with physics.

Lilly periodically tries to pack herself. It's true.

Could you please do my traveling for me? It stresses me out something fierce.

July 28 2009, 22:19:43 UTC 7 years ago

I wish I could!

You'll have internet. If nothing else, there's free wi-fi at the convention center for the duration of the convention. Though I believe that our hotel room has free wi-fi, as well, but it might be a per day charge. Not sure.

I love the age of cheap/free wi-fi, I really do.

On some of my cross-country business trips, I've taken to springing for the upgrade to Economy Plus (or the particular airline's equivalent). Even if the person in front leans the seat back, the few extra inches I've gained still allow me to use my computer.

Granted, it also helps that my airfare is on the company dime, so I don't mind spending the extra $50 or $60 out of my pocket.

I'm giving serious thought to flying Business to Australia.
