Trade Show Travelog #9
Back home - Thu, 5 Dec 2024, 9:45pm
I'm home from 4 days in Vegas. It's time to truly close the book (well, mostly; there are still followups) on this trade show. Especially after today was a busy final day of the show. My flight back to San Jose, despite leaving 10 minutes late after the crew were scurrying around to find either a missing passenger or a stowaway, landed on time. Once again I timed my call to Lyft/Uber well such that my driver was pulling up at the waiting area just as I arrived on foot. I really like not having to wait late in the evening when I'm tired after a long day. Even a wait of several minutes can feel like half an hour. I was home-home, walking through my own front door, at 9:10pm.
After arriving home I methodically set about emptying my suitcase and packing things away. All my dirty clothes went either into the laundry basket or directly into the washer. I started a load this evening for the stuff that's stinky with second-hand smoke from walking through casinos. Then I took a shower. As I've remarked before about staying in casinos, I need to wash up at night to get the reek of smoke out of my hair and my pores. I feel much better already. Now I'm winding down for the night, though I might have to stay up later than I want to move my laundry to the dryer so it doesn't sit damp in the washer 'til morning.
