New York, New York

So I was ready to be posting from the traditional Wi-Fi place at PDX airport before my 7am departure to New York. But I arrived, checked in and they put me on an earlier flight to Seattle. I still had to wait for my connection to Newark, but Sea-Tac does not offer free wi-fi so I didn’t get to post at all.

I’m in the Big Apple for the GEL Conference (although I could just as easily have been going for the TravelCom Expo). It should be very interesting and I’ll be hanging out with some pretty switched on folks. Hope I don’t look like too much of an idiot!

This is my first time in New York and it’s always been one of those mythical places I see in the movies - kinda like LA (where I was two weekends ago - Beverly Hills and the Hollywood sign). It will be interesting to see how my perceptions match the reality, but I’m looking forward to getting out and exploring what I can when I have some free time.
