I love to travel.

I flew to Chicago today. I'm in town for the American Society for Training and Development Conference. I'm nerd enough to be very excited about this. :) I've never been to Chicago, so I have really been enjoying the site seeing. I've been a complete tourist today. Looking straight up at all the buildings, walking annoyingly slowly down the sidewalks. You know, all those things the locals hate.

I drove into Nashville this afternoon and caught my flight. I flew Southwest. I hate to fly Southwest only because of their seating fiasco. Even if my seat is crappy, I just want to know where it is. This way I don't feel that I have to apologize to the person I sit by. Sorry, sir. Looks like you're stuck with me. *Big Cheesy Grin*

Today we are all lined up like cattle preparing to board the plane and a large group of family members moved into place. Each of them had a different seating line-up assignment. So, as a family would, the longer they stood there the closer they got to each other. Well, some woman stuck in the middle looked at one and said, "You need to get all these people in the right place. Three have passed me already." That's when the fight started. Everyone got moved back into place, but the conversation just continued to get louder and louder. It was hilarious. I could have completely been a member of the offending family.

Things calm down and then we all start moving toward the plane. About the time we get on I hear one of the family members say, "No, those are our seats right there. Fo and five. Fo. And. Five. I laughed so hard. Quoting Cedric the Entertainer at a time like that is something I would most certainly do. Now I'm really great friends with this Chicago family. All because I laughed.

I hope to keep up the blog, but if I can't, all pics are being posted to Facebook.

Chicago - It's my kind of town.
