So far so good – a mid-conference update

So far the conference is good. I’m learning a couple new things, and making some great contacts…

Hope the rest of the conference is good…

So I figured that I would at least be able to sleep in a bit since I’m away at a conference… nope… got up at 6:30…

Well, after about 3.5 hour drive, I finally made it to Rochester. I decided to do the drive, instead of take the ferry. I ended up getting a Pontiac Grand AM LS. Decent car. Glad it had cruise control. 94km on the I-90 straight driving…

It was a very easy drive, $3.25 for highway tolls (in the US), 1/2 a tank of gas, and about 370km.

I only had maps on my PPC for Ontario, so I could only use my GPS for about 1/2 the way. It’s a good thing I had directions printed off from Google maps. I need to get the maps for North America.

The motel room is decent. No complaints. Looks like it was recently renovated.

It’s a shame I couldn’t get a room at the conference centre where the convention is. There’s an indoor pool, tons of stuff to do, etc. Oh well, maybe next time.

International hockey star?

So I was at my sports banquet last night, and I was invited to go play in the first International Israel Cup at the end of Jan. ‘06.

I’ve spoken to my boss, and it’s no prob. for me to move vacation days around to be able to go. I just want to come up with a creative way to raise $ to help pay for the trip.

Care to sponsor me? Please contact me! PLEASE!

Thoughts?

I estimate that flight, tournament fees, hotel, food, travel, etc. will be about $2000-2500 CAD. Any ideas would certainly be greatful!

Do I take the ferry?

So… for $64US I can take the ferry (one way) from Toronto to Rochester. It’s about a 2.5hr trip. The thing is this – it leaves at 7 p.m. and I’m supposed to be there about an hour before it takes off.

So, do I leave Toronto earlier in the day (say 11am) and drive down and take my chances at the border, traffic, etc. etc., or do I go much later and take the ferry?

Ok, so I’m leaving this weekend to go to a conference in the US. I’ve arranged for a rental car, and a hotel. This is the drive I’m going to be doing… sigh…
