Trip report, intro
This is coming a bit late, since I really was not feeling too good yesterday (and not feeling great this morning either, which does not bode well for the upcoming flight home), but I have a hour or so to kill before leaving for the airport and finally an Internet connection allowing me to copy and paste my iPad notes up to here, so, here we go.
This has been a strange, surreal, up and down trip, with everything seemingly either unbelievably, indescribably awesome, or unbelievably, all too describably horrific, with only a few things (the Southwest Airlines bit on the way here, for instance, annoying but amusing) squarely in the middle. So, after very little thought, I have decided to group stuff mostly by theme, especially since a few of these matters really deserve their own little posts anyway.
First up, as background, the Hotel. Auuggggghhhhhhh.
