Today is the day. I'm off to Orlando for #CoSIDA17. The day started with a good family day and visit to the "ever famous" Lennoxville Friendship Day capped with a parade. Madi, our almost 2-year old daughter, did not like the loud noises. Anyway it was still fun, and I think family time is important especially this time of year as the fall minutes go by way too fast.
Anyway I left home shortly after noon, got parked, through security and customs no problem, although first time I've done that in a while, how automated!
Get to the terminal 2 hours before flight as suggested only to find out I'm delayed 1 hour already. Great. Anyway I'm now sitting in a pub and scrolling through Twitter seeing posts from those who are down there and it really is getting exciting. Now landing at 9 pm, not so excing, oh well, I'll grab a bite now and roll with it.
Next step is to continue my research on the speakers I'm looking forward to attending. A while back I followed everyone on Twitter, what a great tool, when used effectively.
As I mentioned in my last post, I'm extremely fortunate to be asked to sit with Paul Carson at lunch on Wednesday as he receives his award. We have a very experienced table and I'm going to soak it in. Networking from what I understand is the important part of this conference and what a great opportunity this will be.

The iPad I have is all set up and I'm ready to go with a power booster and my trusty One Note App. After some tests earlier this week I think we'll be good to go.
I've also played around with photoshop on the iPad and love it. If all goes well I might have to find a way to get me one of these!

Anyway I just got an alert that flight boards soon, although when trying to check the flight on Air Canada app it seems to be taking a while.
This Hurley's needs work on its choice of televisions...Canadian Nascar? Canadian Nascar! Glad I have my Dan Patrick Podcasts for the flight!
Up Next: Take-off, Land, shuttle to hotel, check-in, grab a bite, make sure shirts are good to go (iron shirts if needed) and get ready for Leadership Conference tomorrow. Let the learning and professional development begin!
Until next time,
Marty
