Cleveland
March 28
Alrighty then! Checked out of the Residence Inn, got rental car, checked into Doubletree, returned rental car, made it work by 8:30!
Only four more nights in Cleveland, then on to New York on Friday night. Looking forward to being back in NYC!
I’ve been remiss about taking photos around town, so in tomorrow’s entry I’m going to include several photos of Cleveland.
I really think if the weather had been a little milder I would have gotten many more pictures while I was here. But it’s been as low at the mid-twenties, for pity’s sake.

One of the challenges of a trip of this length is the combination of having lots of pounds worth of baggage and many instances of having to move said baggage around. I’m not particularly fond of packing, and schleping my pile of bags from one place to another. I guess I should look at it as a real-life workout opportunity. But it’s the kind of thing that makes me think it would be awfully nice to have a servant.

Yikes! Speaking of being remiss, I’ve been VERY negligent of my Lynda.com training so far on the trip. I’m going to get better at that. I’m still working my way through the courses in Sharepoint and Lightroom 3.
For those of you not familiar, Lynda.com is this fantastic subscription website where you can learn almost any tech subject you care to learn. The instructors are top-notch and the videos are clear and focused. I highly recommend it!
