A list

I really hate to travel. I hate making the arrangements, I hate paying for airfare and other travel expenses, I hate packing, I hate each and every moment when I think, ohmygod I almost forgot that! I hate that I overpack, I hate leaving the cats and the puppy, I hate leaving my son and nagging my brothers to spend some time with my son while I'm gone. I hate getting to the airport, standing in line, taking off my shoes and then sitting around waiting. I hate expensive airport food and worse coffee. I hate flying because it's boring. I hate getting out of the airport in some city I don't live in and dealing with public tranportation.

However, I do generally like being someplace else.

But then I hate all stuff in the first para, only in reverse.

Have you guessed? Tomorrow, I'm flying to Long Beach CA to Celebrate Romance and talk about Crimson City. I'm returning Sunday because there's a book signing (Please! Let my books be there!) I'm not bringing the laptop because it's too much darn trouble. I'm bringing paper copy to read and edit the heck out of.

And now, I need to thnk about starting to print stuff because I have to get up at 3:30am. But first, I'm going to read Miss Snark.

Comments:
I feel your pain. However, I am always up at 3:45 am so I REALLY feel your pain. *Grin*.

I hate traveling, but have fun girl at least you get out. Any chance you're ever coming to Omaha to sign some books?

BTW, do you know that saying about if you leave something behind you will always come back? I don't suggest you leave anything in a motel. Who wants to return there?

Have a good trip!

Mel
