Early morning flights stink!

It is really nice to maximize my time away from home.  But early EARLY morning flights really suck.  Especially when you have to drive 90 miles just to check in.  Couple that with overly amateur travelers and my annoyance level is high this morning.

I am a bad weather magnet!

This year on the road has been one filled with treachery and terrible weather. I happen to be in Kansas City only to be sitting in the middle of a winter storm warning and the need to drive 500 miles tonight to get home. Go figure that the one day I need to get home it turns nasty. Well.....I guess that's wandering in the Midwest for you!

When booking your hotel, ask if 5,000 cheerleaders are staying there first!

So I'm starting at a decent place here in Dallas (the DoubleTree near Market Center to be clear).  It is a nice hotel, and DoubleTree's in the past have been great business hotels with all you need while working in the road.  But upon my return tonight, I was meet with more 9yr old point tails than I could count and 15 minute waits for the elevator (I'm staying in the 11th floor).

I decided on a temporary escape to the hotel bar to let the lines wear down only to find that all the cheerleader MOMS were in there even louder (thanks to the massive amounts of alcohol being consumed). 

Instead of working out for the rest of the weekend.....I'll be taking the stairs!
