My First Day In Boston

Well - the big news is I didn't over sleep and actually made it to the airport in a comfortable time frame!! AND it wasn't raining this morning. Always a good sign.

Actually it was kinda funny. I woke up around 4:30am. Coffee and blogging done I finished my packing and got ready to go.

It was dark out. There I was, luggin' my shit down the stairs, scared to death I'd fall. It was only after I got all the way down and managed to keep from slippin' that I remembered that I could have turned the light on - there's a switch at the bottom of the stairs. Duh. And I'd like to tell you I won't be having that problem when I get home - but knowing me, I'll forget again.

Anyway - the sunrise this morning was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. And believe me, I've seen some gorgeous sunrises in my day.

Everything at the airport and the flight went very well. We arrived in Boston and went straight to the hotel.

Now - please note - I am NOT a hotel snob. Well, I didn't used to be. The rooms here are not even 1/2 the size of the one in Vegas. The bathrooms? Well, let's just say I won't be takin' any pictures of these. Nope. Not gonna happen.

Oh - it's nice. Really. Sorta. Yeah, it'll be fine.

Anyway - got everything set up for the meetings. Everything unpacked and the room assembled. I kept checking my watch - cause you remember - I was having dinner with my friend Teresa. I didn't want to be late.

So finally I get away, clean up and while I'm brushing my teeth she called to announce she was in the lobby.

WooHoo!!

Now, I had told her I wasn't going to be hauling my jeans all over this country and well, I did. I show up kinda dressed down. She looked lovely and professional. One of the girls I work with joined us, and she also looked lovely and professional. Yeah - I was feelin' a tad bit dumpy. But at least I did my hair!! That should count for something.

We had a wonderful dinner, chatting away and then returned to the hotel. I drug poor Teresa up to our meeting room to show her what I sell. I'm not good at describing it, it's so much easier to understand when you see it.

The three of us stayed and chatted a bit more until I. Hit.The.Wall. No - not literally, I mean I just reached the end of my line. So we said our goodbyes and parted ways.

In case I didn't make it clear Teresa....Thank you SOOOO much for driving into the city to see me. It was wonderful. And hopefully I'll land a Boston account and we can do this a lot more often.

So - that was day one. Now - I'm hittin' the hay. Heaven only knows what day two will bring.
