Day 4: Wednesday, October 16th Picking back up... Wednesday morning I'm not really sure what we did. I think we were just mostly around the house- maybe Ivan and his brother ran a couple errands? Anyway, nothing too exciting happened in the a.m. In the afternoon, we (just me, Ivan, Ethan, Asher, Kaly and Ivan's… Continue reading Wednesday-Thursday: Metepec, and my birthday in Mexico!!
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!
The week/ weekend: This is a bit of a weird week, as I have just one week home sandwiched in between 2 weeks away. I was rather exhausted this past weekend after Nashville! I was glad to hear on a call yesterday that I was not alone. My boss said she took super long naps… Continue reading Sandwich week, fall stuff, etc.
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
GRATEFUL KAE
