Incredibly good to be home
I got home Tuesday night, after much ado about delays at the airport, and my friend and travelling partner Jen’s luggage being put on another flight.
It really took me a day or so to really digest the fact that I was home, and to start the process of unpacking my stuff as well as my notes from the conference. I’m still making every effort to get my last few posts up on the PLA Blog, as well as post a few things here about my conference experience.
I can say that Annual was an amazing difference from Midwinter. The annual conference is way bigger in terms of scope, physical layout, and number of attendees, and the physical and mental toll were multiplied exponentially for me. Wifi wasn’t nearly as accessible to the conference area this time around, so instead of posting my notes as I created them, I’ve got a backlog of stuff to post now, as opposed to really being able to share the experience as it happened. I also got to see and meet way more people at Annual than I did at Midwinter, and I’m finding that I’m building a conference set of people that I see routinely, which is fabulous.
So yeah, it may take me a while to unravel everything from the conference, especially given that this is a holiday weekend, and I’d very much like to enjoy being home.
