I was in sunny, warm Austin Texas from Tuesday - Sunday for the annual BMES conference. The trip was totally kickass, and it marked a big series of firsts for me:
- first time getting on a plane since getting diagnosed with POTS
- first time further west than Toledo, OH
- first time leaving Eastern Standard Time
- first time dealing with connecting flights
- first time setting foot in Tennessee and Texas
- first time staying in a hotel with over 20 floors
- first time at a big national conference
- first time seeing the famous toupee :)
- first time dancing at a nightclub with sharks in the floor
- first time holding a steer
- first time getting busted by hotel security for noise
...i'm sure there are more, but i can't remember them right now haha. it was also my first time (obviously) having real Tex-Mex and Texas BBQ. ...food here in Ohio has been ruined for me!!
thanks to all my BMEs that made the experience SO AMAZING!
omg that sounds awesome. But...because it must be asked:
ReplyDeletesharks in the FLOOR?
