Woohoo!!! Old Spice basketball tournament time.
So I cut short the vacation time with the family to drive back to Dallas to catch a flight to Orlando to work a basketball tournament for Sports Illustrated. I now know the best time to fly anywhere is right after Thanksgiving. There were a few people in the airport but not much.
Travel tip- Check your bags at the skycap station. You get charged two dollars (plus a tip) to not stand in a line and have someone carry your bags to the plane. What a wonderful concept, please use it…
The trip to Orlando was painless and I got to sit next to an extremely attractive woman. Normally I throw on the ipod and fall asleep, but this time I thought I would be sociable. We had a great conversation about diabetic insulin pumps. I learned a few things for sure. She did wait until we were about to land to inform me of topics that include a 10 yr old daughter, two ex husbands and current boyfriend in Orlando. Still a great conversation but funny how people do that.
We will cut the work stuff short… Worked two games back to back. Both games were blowouts and not as interesting as I had hoepd.
BUT… I had a pina colida with Minny Mouse when I got back to my DisneyWorld Marriott that night… that was an interesting evening… I also have a balcony in my Marriott room which is a first and i get to watch the sunset…
this is going to be a great trip… (excluding the four games I will have to work back to back tomorrow) hehehe
