I just finished packing. I leave early (really early) in the morning for the American Pain Foundation Pain Summit in Minneapolis.
Years ago, I used to travel regularly for work and learned to pack light – 1 pair of black pants, 1 pair of khaki pants, 1 black shirt, 1 tan shirt and 1 print shirt. That makes 6 outfits – black and black, black and tan, tan and black, tan and tan … you get the idea. I usually fly Southwest and am not used to the checked baggage charges (bags still fly free on Southwest). This trip I’m going Delta. Despite my expenses being reimbursed, I don’t like to pay for a checked bag (it just doesn’t seem right) so I re-learned packing light. No airline is getting an extra $25 to $40 from me!
I’m nervous about arriving in Minneapolis. The best way to the downtown hotel is by light rail. I don’t really know what that is and my back (and the accompanying pain) doesn’t allow me to carry luggage too well. Thank goodness for wheels.
No matter what, I’ll get there and then rest and be raring to go – learning about the APF and what I can do to help myself and others who live with pain!
