Lucky me! 

I get to go to Las Vegas for a trade show today. Okay,Yes, I am being sarcastic.I rarely look forward to these trips and this one is no exception to that. I don't enjoy being away from my family.I don't enjoy the travel. I certainly don't need the added expense. This show is the International Lingerie Show. Sounds like I should be in for a good time,however trust me, it's not as much fun as one might imagine.
I know that a dramatic shift in my attitude towards this trip will serve me well. Once I hit the send button on this email, I will work at making that transition. I think I just wanted to get my ill will out of my system. Even as I sit here banging away at the keys, I am experiencing a shift in my attitude. 
It is what it is. Another trade show. Another flight and another opportunity to move from where I am in this moment to where I will be sometime in the future.
Mostly I wanted to let you know that I won't be around for a few days. Wifi is an expense in Las Vegas. When I travel to other parts of the country hotels always have business centers where I can check in on my emails and conduct business in some sort of ordinary fashion. Vegas charges for all of this, so basically, I cut back for the next few days to "only really important" stuff.
I travel light so no lap top. I do have a smart phone so I will of course check my emails. I will communicate daily with my office making sure that every thing is being handled. As the meal maker in my house, I actually pre-packed and pre-planned meals while I am away. Yes, I know, I am sure they would have figured it out themselves. I also know that I enjoy doing it and there were a number of left overs that I wanted to use up and not have them end up in the trash.
I am half way through my current 40 day cycle so my meals in Vegas have been a source of concern for me. I checked out the menus at the hotel restaurants and there isn't a whole lot for me to choose from. If I were not alone and eating a full spectrum of foods, there is a nice Israeli restaurant not far from where I am staying. However given the limited range of foods I am currently eating, that's probably not going to be a choice I make this trip.
My flight is at 7:40 tonight so my day will be mostly packing and hanging around until I have to leave for the airport. Maybe I can get the pool closed up before I go. That would really give me a sense of accomplishment.
So, timeto pack. I'll miss writing to you while I am gone. I look forward to catching up later on in the week. In the mean time, I hope you have a great one!
Shavua Tov!
