Friday, June 27th, 2008-Travels to NECC

Today my husband and I headed to NECC (National Education Computing Conference) in San Antonio, Texas. We left home around 9:00 a.m., and had to pick up his teaching colleagues in Lincoln around noon. From there, we were off to the airport to catch our flight. We had an on-time flight to Dallas. In Dallas, however, we had a little glitch as we left the gate! Our auxiliary power went out as we were backing out of the gate! The pilot came on and shared that it would be ten to fifteen minutes to fix, and it was a bit longer than that, but I was able to read a bit of my A Whole New Mind book---a most fascinating read, I might add and suggest! Consequently, we arrived slightly off our 7:55 arrival schedule into San Antonio, and ended up at our motel somewhere around 10:30 p.m. We did find a Denny's Restaurant a few blocks away from our motel, so had a late dinner there. It was good to be in our new little home away from home after a twelve hour day of traveling!
