Sleep! Okay. The Travel Wore Me Out! I Was Grabbed by Dave, We Got Dinner, and Then I Was Out

Great Shroom burger, though, to follow a very expensive road trip to the wrong hotel thanks to the world of taxis, which are definitely overcharging in response to Uber. I was like, "You think you're selling me an air ticket back home?" Phew. I now know I need to be more upfront in my planning from airport to sleeping location. I'm glad I was finally delivered by an Uber drive to the right location, as the vicinity is much nicer than where I was originally dropped off.

The four hour flight was a breeze, because I watched the 4 hour documentary on Paul Reuben, aka Pee Wee Herman, and was intrigued by the back story and how his character came to be. What a story and phenomenal documentary, even if it was hard to see the back story to the way his life played out.

This morning, I need to pick up my registration, check out the National Writing Project rooms, and get a feel for what is about to go down over the next few days. The hotel room is nice, but there's no reason for so much heat. I like to sleep cold, so turned those temperatures down.

There's an hour difference and I know I will need to adjust my inner clock. Last night was a good shower and a wonderful pillow...then I was out. I'll be more adjusted after today, but for now I'm groggy, acclimating, and able to say that I've made it to my destination in one place. 

Ate bad on night one, and will need to adjust from this point forward. My stomach can't do the burger and fries like it used to. 

Okay, NCTE...let's kicks things off.
