Monday (D minus 2) is really the prelude to the WWP event.
Travelers arrive in dribs and drabs, acclimating themselves to a new place. We wave in the terminal, sometimes in actual recognition, sometimes at the sight of an IFMA bag, or shirt. There’s a sense of community and camaraderie, even in airports, even at a distance.
I always look forward to WWP with great anticipation, and landing in the World Workplace city always heightens those feelings. Things to learn, people to see, people to meet, kind of exciting, actually.
There are four of us from Pacific Building Care (PBC); Anita Ciminesi, Dana Holladay, Russ Scarce and me. Amazingly, none of us got lost in the luggage or mistakenly re-routed to east of nowhere. (It probably helped that it was a direct flight. Once we got on the right plane, there was little room for error).
So here we are, in Big “D” . Passing by Cowboy’s stadium with a FM eye, I can see why they are building a new one. This one has been used and abused.
We are faced with a number of challenges- finding our way to the Hotel, finding a place to get snacks, waters and drinks at non-hotel prices and getting lunch.
First things first. We located a CVS on a back street downtown. Across the street we found the “Which Wich” a little sandwich shop that served a great toasted pastrami on sourdough. There’s nothing like immediate gratification.
Found the hotel. Good room. Good view. Good bed. Good night.
