Travel - sort of...
Since this is supposed to be a travel blog, and I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to post a short review on my fun-filled trip to Texas. Yes, I was in Dallas for 5 days. I know this is a little scary for those who know me (Chicago liberal in Texas?) but I didn't actually step outside the hotel/resort complex the whole time. We stayed in Grapevine Texas, at Gaylord's Texan. It was a nice place if you're in to the all-inclusive, no way to leave, experience. A lot of decent resaurants (pretty sweet sports bar actually), and the 'outdoor-indoor' experience reminded me of Vegas. I guess I have to liken it to living in a dome or something like that. My major beef with the place was that the net access you paid for in your room couldn't be reached in the conference center (made for a lot of running back to the hotel btw talks to check my email). I was really starting to get clausterphobic there at the end - trapped feelings and all. Of course, I'm sure the who 'being away from the baby over Halloween' thing didn't help either.
