My flight to Baltimore was pretty uneventful. I was exhausted after only sleeping 2.5 hours so I slept almost the entire plane ride! I read my Kindle for probably an hour total. My only gripe so far: you have to turn the Kindle off for take off/landing! So annoying!
I landed in Baltimore a little early, around 5pm. I was excited to be there and see Ann Marie but it took 1.5 hours to get my stupid rental car! The process was slow and they were super busy. I got a Dodge Caliber, the same car i had in Napa earlier this year. That car is a trip...its very small but when you sit in the driver seat you feel like you are in a full sized SUV! The seat sits so high. I'm always shocked when I step out.
Anyways, I got to AM's house and we caught the last quarter of the Charger's loss. After we got some 5 Guys burgers and fries and hung out until 1am talking (and watching the new Dexter!) I slept in til 10am EST and then met AM for some Jimmy Johns. I got on the road at around noon, and Google Maps said i had almost 6 hours of driving ahead of me!
The rain was horrible at first, i could barely see the car in front of me. It slowed down after 30 mins. I made one stop for gas and got to NC by 5pm. Not bad. Still raining (with thunder and lightening) but not as bad. The house is HUGE. It has a theatre room, elevator, pool...i'll take photos tomorrow. The beach looks beautiful, exactly how i pictured it.
I met everyone who is attending the workshop tonight too. Seems like a really great group of people so far! I'm rooming with a girl named Maggie Stolzberg who seems really sweet. We have a mutual friend too...a guy I went to college with!
I'm super excited for tomorrow! I hope it stops raining.

I have a nice cover for my Kindle that makes it look much more like a book. As long as the Wispernet connection is turned off- it poses no threat to the plane during takeoff and landing. That said, the stewards do not understand this and still ask you to shut it off- so that's where the disguise comes in handy. It also protects the Kindle too if you drop it.
