We made it. Bryan was able to check in this afternoon and all I had to do was make it to the hotel and go to the room. Wonderful! The trip out here wasn’t bad. If you’ve never rode in a prop plane, you should just so you can get the experience. Most of the flight was fine until we came down at Dallas and then it got bumpy. Good thing I didn’t eat too much for lunch. I’ve never been to our Tyler airport. It’s nice yet it’s still like that small town airport that’s so pleasant. I arrived for what I thought was a 2:50 flight but when I got to the counter, the lady said that they had one going in 20 minutes and she was going to put me on it. Fine with me. I had a little more time in Dallas so I wouldn’t have to run to catch the one to LAX. Speaking of LAX, outside our window we can see these lit up pillars just sticking up in the air. Bryan said they are clear during the day. By them, in big letters is LAX. Tomorrow will be an early day since I have to go to pick up my packet than make it to the breakfast that kicks the whole thing off by 7:30. Bryan tried to get my packet for me today but they wouldn’t give it to him. Well, we’re in CA not Texas. The people here have been pretty nice though.

Well it's Wednesday mornging and it's hard to get use to that 2 hour time difference. At 8:00 LA time I'm ready for bed and at 4:00 LA time I'm looking up at the ceiling and ready to get out of bed. We have those fancy Sleep Number beds that let you adjust the firmness of your bed. When you push the button to make the bed firmer it sounds like you have a vacume cleaner under your bed.

We'll be heading over to the Marriott soon for breakfast and the keynote ppresentation. Roger and I have mapped out the sessions that we will be going to. We're going to different sessions so we can take advantage of as many things as possible.
