\"\"<\/a>It’s family travel time. \u00a0Except all solo-like.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, we drop off Kay at church for her to head up to the “Genesis” diocesan youth event up in Buena Vista for the weekend. \u00a0I’ve jokingly called it “Jesus Camp<\/a>,” but given that we’re Episcopalian I’m pretty sure we won’t end up Kay speaking in tongues or a Camazotz Girl<\/a> when she returns.<\/p>\n

Though I do plan on engaging her in some conversation about her faith and beliefs, and share a few of my own with her.<\/p>\n

So then we’re foot-loose and fancy-free empty-nesters for … oooh, a good 36 hours or so. \u00a0We’d talked about going off and doing something romantic, but then decided that, y’know, as busy as our lives have been lately, simply going out for a nice dinner, then coming home and playing some City of Heroes then sleeping together in our own bed (and sleeping in come the morning) is about as romantic as we need.<\/p>\n

Then tomorrow evening we have a nice dinner with Mary and Stan.<\/p>\n

Then 0-dark-early Sunday, I drive off to the airport and hop on a flight to Orlando, thence to the Gartner\/ITxpo conference at the fabulous Swan & Dolphin resort at Walt Disney World. \u00a0Except I’m not staying there, but that the much more moderately-priced Caribbean Beach resort at WDW, then getting shuttled back and forth to the S&D for the conference.<\/p>\n

(Margie gets to be solo for about 10 hours, before she goes and picks up Katherine for deprogramming late Sunday afternoon.)<\/p>\n

I’m off at Gartner until Thursday, a which mostly means spending a lot of time sitting on conference halls, large and small, and talking with analysits and stuff like that, then spending my evenings catching up on email. \u00a0Well, okay, there are a couple of evening Disney Park outings planned (a conference-based on to Disney Hollywood Studios, and a solo jaunt to EPCOT which is having its food & wine festival going on). \u00a0So there will be some fun, but it’s a Serious Working Conference. \u00a0Expect many tweets.<\/p>\n

I get home Thursday night … and I think \u00a0that wraps up our family travels until the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
