Herding Cats
Today I flew to the BlogHer conference -- my first, their second. It wasn't a quick trip -- New York to San Jose, California -- all for 36 hours of wisdom about this new world of blogs into which I am venturing, from a female perspective. (PS just a few short hours in, it has already been so worth it). What was aggravating, however, was not the distance travelled but the mode and manner in which the travel occurred. It is during trips like these that I come to remember why I much prefer leisurely car or even train travel to crowd-crazed air travel (UGH).
All day was spend being herded from a long line to check baggage to a long line to get through security to a long line to get on and off the plane to a long line for the shuttle to pick up the rental car. We have all heard about the heightened levels of air travel this summer, with over crowded airports. I am here to confirm first hand, that these reports are true. But fortunately for me, I don't plan to make them my truth in the future unless absolutely forced to. Hello road trip!
