Sony Mommy Bloggers Event Part I
So far it has been pretty exciting. The plane ride here sucked. It was four and half hours with screaming kids. I made it through it though. LOL They had a limo pick me up. It was pretty cool. I got to baggage claim and the driver was standing there with a sign with my name on it. I probably will never have that happen again, but it still was super awesome. We are staying at La Valencia Hotel and this place rocks. I highly recommend it to anyone staying San Diego. I have an ocean view room. I can literally lay in bed, open my balcony doors, and watch the waves. Sony also provided in our rooms some chocolate and a rose. We also were given gift certificates for dinner. I had fillet mignon. It melted in mouth, that’s how good it was. Even though I didn’t order dessert, I tried my fellow bloggers desserts and they were to die for. So far, this trip has been awesome. Tomorrow should be another fun day. We get to play with the cameras that we are getting. They have us going from 9 am – 9 pm, so hopefully, I will get a chance to blog somewhere in there.
Takeoff
I actually typed this up on Wednesday morning before I left for Miami. My WiFi connection was not great there and didn’t work most of the time, so I am finally posting this now.
It’s about 9 am and I have been up since 5:30 am. I am at O’hare (even though this won’t publish until I am already in Miami since I refuse to pay $6.95 for wifi for the thirty minutes or so I’ll actually have time to blog). I am amazed at the amount of kids that will be on my flight. Not all are so little. There is one little one that I am terrified is going to be sitting next to me. I left my kids home for a reason. I do not want to be sitting next to them. I know that sounds really bad since the kid looks to be a little older than Will. I should be more understanding because I have kids. However, the grandmother is currently chasing the little one around the concourse right now. Every time she makes him sit down, he screams. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Otherwise, this is going to be a really, really, really long flight.
After the bad weather last night (50 mph winds and snow), I am amazed that my flight is even going to leave on time. O’hare is known for delays, so I was happily surprised that there were no delays. Woo hoo!!! The crazy part of this trip is that with the wind chill it is -25 degrees. Currently, it is 71 in Miami.
I started feeling guilty last night already. I spend 24/7 with my kids so I do like the break. However, with that, I feel incredibly guilty that I am leaving for 3 days. I know they are perfectly fine with my mother in law. However, the mom guilt always gets you.
I did have a funny moment happen at the airport. This may be lack of sleep though and only funny to me. I was walking around looking for a bathroom. They had a sign for a drinking fountain which basically is a person who is bent over drinking. Well, at first glance, it looked like somebody throwing up. I literally stopped and did a double take. I realized what it really was and laughed to myself (don’t want to laugh out loud by myself at the airport – they make think I am crazy lol).
At this point, we are waiting for the flight attendants so we can board the plane. The plane is here, the pilots are here, however, we have no flight attendants. I think they said they were running late. The plane is not suppose to take off for another 25 minutes, so as long as everyone boards quickly, we should still take off on time (in theory).
