24 hours later and I have done nothing. No shows, no sightseeing, not one coin in a slot machine. I think this is a first. I do feel tired for doing so little. Last night we had a poolside reception where I spend 3 hours getting caught up with people that I haven't seen in a couple of years. At 11:00 pm when the parties started, I decided to run for the safety of my room since we had an early day. I didn't sleep well so I might as well have gone out. Today was a 3 hour meeting followed by a quick lunch and another 3 hour meeting. I did a coffee run (no in-room coffee here) and am now getting new caffiene motivation before the banquet. Conference weeks are the strangest routine of scheduled meetings and activities, and then all the informal meetings and activities that happen as schedules permit. I've hid in my room for the last hour and I feel caught up on work-work enough that I can relax for the next hour.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
