Note: I wrote these blogs while I was travelling, but had pretty bad Internet access for the first few days, and then was busy throughout the week, and didn't ever get a chance to post them.... so here you go, finally!

So my adventure starts... in Toronto. There's a ton of lightning, and my flight's been delayed (finally, officially, delayed.) We're now not leaving until 12:30am or so (hopefully--only 1.5 hours late).

Despite the delay, I'm actually not doing too terribly badly. Mike gave me a lounge pass, so I'm nice and cozy in the near-empty Maple Leaf Lounge at terminal one. The downside: dead tired. I could literally curl up here and go to sleep. And likely miss my flight if and when it does happen. Other downside: I scheduled a meeting pretty tightly for when I get off the plane. So I'll be pushing it to get to that on time. But we'll see--perhaps it'll work out well somehow. I don't know how, but somehow.

And on that note, I'll conclude my first (boring) trip blog and... start thinking about my presentation tomorrow.
