A Long Haul

New Orleans, U.S.A. - September 09, 2005

The sudden blast of humidity as we walked off the aircraft in Houston was oddly a welcoming feeling that we finally arrived after having mechanical problems with our aircraft in
Our cozy little home.Seattle and thereby missing our connection in Phoenix due to the massive delays.

However, the adventure didn't stop there. The airport literally seemed shut down by 1:30am. Eerily deserted, we walked along the underground tram tunnel from one terminal to the next looking for any bus, shuttle, train or taxi that could take us to the Convention Center. We are now at the George R. Brown Convention Center, and it's just a little past 5am (far past the time we were supposed to meet our contact who had a few cots lined up for us for the night). Looks like we will be snoozing in a little corner of a room for a few hours before we get to work. We are fatigued, but we're also relieved that we finally made it to the place we need to be. Cot or not, we're happy to be here.
