Travel Wire

In less than 24 hours, I'll be in the Charlotte area. Likely I'll be attending the WNBA game where Charlotte plays Sacremento at the Bobcats Arena. I actually got a good seat at the lower level. The seat is close to the front. Too bad it's not being televised...I might've recorded it in case they caught me in some screenshots. I imagine WNBA games don't sell as well as NBA but nonetheless I'm stoked as it's my first WNBA game. I've of course seen the Bulls at United Center last year & years before that I saw the Bulls in Milwaukee.

Beyond that, I'm pretty much playing it by ear how I spend my time. I do have an acquaintance down there that I may hang out with briefly but otherwise my time will mostly be my own. I do know I'll be hitting the Bally's there and I usually make a trip to a local Border's and find a travel book to get ideas for restaurants and nightspots (if I'm so inclined) to hit.

Since I'm thinking about possibly moving there next year, I do want to spend some time driving around the different neighborhoods to get a feel for the real estate. If I do move, though, I'll likely move into an apartment first & spend that year seriously looking. That way, I'm not rushed into getting a home I may not like.

I'm a bit bummed that I won't see Ladynay but I'll likely be visiting again later in the year just to get another feel for the area. So hopefully we'll meet then. I mean, I can't make a decision in one weekend, right?

I so need to pack. I need to get a quick workout in too. I have clothes to wash. I need to get a good night's sleep. So much to do, so little time.

Maybe the hotel I'm staying at will have an internet kiosk so I can check in. Otherwise I probably won't be posting again until after July 4th.

Happy 4th of July everyone!
