Sorry guys! Totally fell off the blogging wagon this trip! But that's okay. I ended up sort of not really having time, but mostly I sort of just wasn't feeling it (blogging, not the trip!). So I didn't. We got home yesterday afternoon. (All smooth except one of the LONGEST lines for immigration at O'Hare… Continue reading We’re home! Mexico trip brain dump
Tuesday, October 15- Day 3 This was a pretty relaxing day!! Which was fine by me. My father-in-law had to work, and others had a variety of little errands etc to do. Ivan was in and out with his mom/brother for part of the day and then he, his brother, Asher and Kalej all went… Continue reading A pretty chill day in Toluca
Oh man, this last week felt like a total blur!! I think I touched on this already, but I felt like I crammed about 3 weeks’ worth of stuff into this single week between Nashville and Mexico. Work was also insane. Ivan left for Mexico Thursday at 4 pm, so I was also on my… Continue reading Last few days/ arrival to Mexico!
I'm home! Yesterday, Friday, was Day 5 in Nashville and my final conference day. I was glad it was an abbreviated day (starting at 8:00, ending at 2:00 instead of 5:00) because I really was suddenly starting to feel at my saturation point of listening to presentations! I mean, it really was a great conference… Continue reading Day 5 Nashville- the end!
Day 4 already! Second to last conference day. In keeping with fall theme, burnt orange/brown pants with navy tank. It was another great day of presentations but oof, my brain is kinda starting to go to mush at this point. Like I already said, these have been FULL days of information overload. Lunch today had… Continue reading Day 4 Nashville- hittin’ the town!
These are not the most exciting “travel” recaps, probably because this obviously isn’t true travel! It’s getting late and I took a shockingly low number of pictures today, lol, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. But I want to keep up my little streak, just because. 🙂 Today was the first day of the… Continue reading Day 3 Nashville- more work, (slightly!) less fun
Whew, this was a long day! I’m cooked. We had to be downstairs by 7:30 a.m. for breakfast. Then it was a FULL day of presentations. Like legit 8-5 nonstop with 1 hour for lunch (which was served upstairs in a different ballroom and was actually AMAZING) and a couple of short coffee breaks. No… Continue reading Nashville day 2- long day!
My first solo trip in a long long time! Like I said, I know other people travel solo ALL the time, either for work or pleasure, and traveling especially for a conference is totally commonplace for many others. But it’s really not for me!! I have traveled solo on multiple occasions in my life- including… Continue reading Nashville! Day 1
Here we are, somehow 1 day away from the end of September! I read all the time management things and I think about this topic a lot, yet I still can't seem to figure out how to get time to slow down. (Though in other ways, September actually has simultaneously felt moderately long? I don't… Continue reading End of September
So a couple other pieces of information have come to light that may also impact the Mexico travel decision (in case you missed it yesterday, spelled out ad nauseum here). Actually, first of all- THANK YOU to everyone who chimed in! So many thoughtful points!! (Special thanks to my lurkers who came out of lurkerville… Continue reading And the plot thickens….
GRATEFUL KAE
