Foodbuzz Fest: Getting There
Posted by Tina / 1 comment » / Conferences, Food Blogging Adventures
Wow- where to even begin! So much has happened and I’ve hardly had time to blog about it… I’ll start with my trip out here. Â Yesterday was pretty much the LONGEST day ever.My 5 am (Eastern time) wake up call came REAL fast! Off to the airport I went (special thanks to the Hubs for getting up early to take me!). Got to the airport and got checked in. First order of business…
Coffee and a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel from Starbucks.
Sidenote: I’m loving that the red cups are back! 🙂
I had a short flight from PBI to ATL and a quick layover before I got on my SUPER long (5 hr) flight out to San Francisco. A cool little thing I tried out though was the airline WiFi! I had never seen that before- it was so weird to be online while thousands of feet in the air. I LOVED it. And for a nervous flyer like myself (long story), it seriously helped occupy my mind.
I arrived in San Francisco at 1:30 pm (Pacific Time) which was almost 12 hours from when I started my day hah! I’m telling you- the time difference has thrown me off!!
I waited in like for my baggage for what seemed like an eternity…
I finally got my bags and set off on my treck to the hotel.  First I had to find the BART. Special thanks to the fabulous Diana for posting picture directions – totally saved me!!! 🙂
These are the sliding doors that connected the “Train cars” on the BART. I thought it was so weird seeing people walking through them while the train was moving.
Anyhow, after lugging my (way too heavy) bags through the airport… onto a train… to get to the BART… and then through the streets & hills of San Fransisco… i FINALLY made it to my hotel & was able to check in and get my food buzz badge & SWAG bag
Check out the SWAG in this bag… craziness! I have NO idea how i’m going to get all this stuff home. It’s insane how much free stuff i got here!!! LOVE IT.
So I got settle in and finally got the shower I had been dying for!!!
My little computer setup…
As I was pulling out my clothes to get ready for the nights festivities… a little note fell out of my bag:
The hubs is the sweetest (sorry if i’m embarrassing you hunnay!)
After my little boost of confidence from the hubs, I got ready and was off for the Street Food Fair / Meet & greet… (this outfit was compliments of the hubs…)
