But wait! There’s more.

Filed in BX Convention 2007

About three hours after dropping into bed the wake up call woke me up, and I staggered around until it was time to meet Skyring in the lobby. We were flying at roughly the same time, and while we’d had an offer to go in convoy with the Pedersens, I made a judgment call and went with my own gut, which was to leave earlier than they did. (Bruce and Kipling were on the same flight as me to DC, and they did make it, though they hadn’t done so by the time I had boarded!) At roughly four o’ clock, an obscene time, we were en route to the airport with Skyring exchanging cabby notes and me trying hard not to snore.

The idea was to get a coffee and chat, but that was kind of scuppered when a) Skyring’s airline staff wasn’t even there when we arrived and b) nothing was open yet and c) we were assigned to different concourses. We’d been counting on the airport being small enough to fit everyone in the same lounge, but ’twasn’t the case. Oh well. I checked in my baggage, said a fond farewell, and waved Charleston a merry goodbye as I was ushered through security by a lovely lady from Edinburgh. I spotted Scott (our new CEO) and Rhonda and went to say hello/goodbye to them, as well.

In no time at all I was on my little dinky plane to DC, and just managed to stay awake for the takeoff before snoring my way through the one hour flight.

I ran to catch up with Bruce and his son, said another fond farewell, and then we went to our separate gates. I saw them later, the cutest thing, fast asleep together.
