Travel, here I come!

[sarahmichelef]

I'm getting excited about my trip to Vancouver in three weeks, not least of which because I feel like this is kind of my re-entry into the world of Internet research.  I had TRex 48 hours after I arrived home from the last AoIR conference I went to.  I've had my plane tickets for months (there was a supercheap SWA fare to Seattle a while back), I have a hotel reservation and am desperately hoping to get someone to share the room with me so I don't have to pay for it all myself (will be applying for a travel grant from UMass, but still...).  I have just booked Amtrak tickets from Seattle to Vancouver and back again (thank you jennybeast for suggesting this - it's FAR preferable to the stinky sick-making bus!), and I am making plans to hang out with jennybeast and Pat and whoever else we manage to acquire for fun and hilarity (hopefully Brian and Laura and who knows who else...).  Jenny, I apologize, but you may get stuck hanging out with me and 3/4 of my roommates from my senior year at Carleton.  We're fun, though, I promise.

That sounds like fun, I look forward to it. I will have to leave you for a while on saturday afternoon, unless you want to come to spamalot? This is what my day-planner revealed.

Well, I get back in to town around 4:30. *goes and double-checks the confirmation* Yup, 4:30. So if you're going to a Spamalot matinee, we're golden... if you're not out by then, I bet I can get one of the housemates to collect me from the train station and we can all meet up at some previously-agreed-upon location.

It is the matinee! but it starts at 2, and I am unsure how long it lasts. I suspect the previously agreed-upon-location would be a good idea.
