raloriaMmmph. I should so be crashing right now. Only got about 3 hours of sleep Wednesday night (well, really it was Thursday morning...) and Thursday was nothing but run, run, run. Why I haven't collapsed in a heap is beyond me. Must be the adrenaline.
Anyhoo....I do have news to share.
The cause for the lack of sleep the other night? I was stressing about getting a hotel room for Vancouver Con. I'd been checking the hotel I wanted and one site for rates said they were full that weekend, the others, including the hotel's own site, didn't indicate that at all. So who to believe? Mom & discussed the matter and were going to call Friday. She went to bed & then I got to checking out my 2nd, 3rd, & 4th hotel choices....one was booked and the others were down to only a few rooms. I freaked and left my mom a note saying we had to call Thursday before we went out for our shopping & stuff.
I did not have a pleasant sleep. I was freaking out. So much progress and now we might not have a room! Gah! After 3 hours, I got up and after quickly getting ready, we called.
We got a room!!!!! *huge sigh of relief* OMG I feel so much better now!
Turns out, hotels are filling up that weekend, not just because of the convention, but because there's an AC/DC concert on the 28th. Wouldn't you know...SPN getting edged out by a classic rock concert! :P
We're going to be at the Best Western Downtown (it's on Drake St.) Thursday thru Sunday. Two double beds, kitchenette, Wireless Hi-Speed Internet, Coffee Maker, Safe. Not too bad. :D My plan is to walk to and from the convention hotel, since it's under a mile. But it would be awesome to have someone to walk with.
Is any of my flisters going to be staying at or near the Best Western?
Okay, I'm sure I'd be more squeeful if I wasn't so tired. *blinks* I can feel the lack of sleep catching up with me now. But I'm truly relieved we now have a place to stay. Now to get those passport cards.
Sorry if I rambled a lot. Now I've gotta get today's cap posted, get to bed, and then head out for another full day of errands and shopping. Oh, joy.
