Cleveland
\nMarch 25<\/h2>\n

Good news on the electronics front.\u00a0 The Magellan Travel Store online has comprehensive resources to help you figure out what your actual travel needs are.\u00a0 I just need to fire it up and go through my gadgets one by one and cross check them with each country I\u2019m going to be in.\u00a0 Maybe a bit time-consuming, but should be doable.<\/p>\n

\/\/\/<\/p>\n

Busy weekend ahead!\u00a0 I\u2019m renting a car tomorrow morning and heading to Pittsburgh to see my friend Randy.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to the ride.\u00a0 It should be good weather for driving, cold and clear.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t seen Randy in several years, so I\u2019m happy I\u2019ve got this opportunity.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, I\u2019m driving two hours in the opposite direction, to Toledo.\u00a0 There I\u2019m meeting an old World of Warcraft<\/em><\/strong> buddy who I\u2019ve known for over six years but have never met in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On top of all that driving, I have tickets to attend four screenings at the Cleveland International Film Festival, which starts this weekend in a venue just a five minute walk from my hotel.\u00a0 Lucky me, huh?<\/p>\n

Things could get even crazier, because there\u2019s a very real possibility I\u2019ll have to check out of the Residence Inn Monday morning, which means I\u2019ll need to pack Sunday night after all that driving plus a screening.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Have<\/a>
Have to bounce back and forth between here . . . .<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s my own fault.\u00a0 I was so obsessive about getting as many Marriott nights as possible, when I was informed that during my time in Cleveland the Residence Inn was sold out for some of the nights I needed to be there, I agreed to a silly leap-frog arrangement back and forth between the Residence and another hotel.\u00a0 I got lucky a week ago when cancellations allowed me to avoid the first trip to the other hotel.\u00a0 But my luck may run out this weekend.\u00a0 Fingers crossed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having to check out of my hotel, check into another hotel and return a rental car all before work on Monday could lead to a pre-work migraine.\u00a0 Yipee.<\/p>\n

After all this activity I hope I\u2019m not exhausted come Monday morning when I finally make it to work.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Magellan Travel store is to die for<\/em>.\u00a0 I want almost everything I see for sale there[1]<\/a>.\u00a0 I think I\u2019ll be placing an order soon and have it delivered to my hotel in New York.<\/p>\n
