Planes, Trains and Buses!

Well my day started at 5am and it include all of the above. The problems didn't start until I tried to check in at my hotel. Since I signed up late to be a marshal the hotel didn't have my info. 3 phone calls later they had me assigned to a room. So off I go to my room to only find out that some people had done some switching on their own. So I went along with the plans and made the switch with them to a new room up on the 7th floor. However this room had not been made up. The sheets and comforter were laying on the floor. Back down to lobby and to the women who had helped the first time. I told her the story and she apologized, I said that sounds like free Internet! She replied with "I'm sorry that's still $11". But on the bright side she did find me a clean room!

Next on my agenda was to get my race credentials. The race headquarters are located across the street. Sadly they also didn't have a record of me either. But she seemed to believe my story and issued them to me anyway. The best part is after all that I get to the desk where the per diem is handed out and guess what, I'm on that list!

Since access to wifi is $11 I searched out some free internets. I found them at Baja Fresh! I'm enjoying a burrito and typing out this post.

So in the end after 12 hours of travel, I made it! Tomorrow is meeting day so I should have more info on what I'm actually doing here!

Take care and thanks for reading.
