I’m sure I’m gonna’ catch a lot of crap for this, but I can’t stand Vegas. There are simply too many people there to get lost in a debaucherous trip. Luckily most businesses there operate off the strip, but most conferences do not. So in the middle of trying to get things done you have to deal with drunk people crashing into your door trying to get to their room. The whole city is built around the idea of a devil’s playground, which just doesn’t jive with me. This isn’t to say I don’t like the people that live there. To be honest, I really do.

On the Road: Travels with Charlie
I travel a bit for work, and so a part of this blog is going to be dedicated to those travels. To start this off, I thought I’d cover a little of how I like to travel rather than little notes about where. So when I fly I like to be unencumbered with my bags. So I almost always check my bags. Then when I see people running up and down the isles trying to get their gargantuan bags crammed into little cubby holes I can laugh at them… Of course, this means I have to wait for my bag to come out on the carousel but that’s a small price to pay for…
