Dateline: Manchester, New Hampshire
World Quilt and Textile Show
Known for early political debates, sightings and primaries, um ...we are not here for any of that. O no. This is the Big QUILT SHOW!
For once I am not going to complain about traveling (only an hour delay on the tarmac in D.C.) or about losing the wheels completely off my carry-on bag (no flowers please). I emptied the contents into one of my larger suitcases and left the dead carry-on on the carosel.

Well, you can't leave a suitcase just anywhere, they will think it's a bomb.
Our room (my roommate Marjan Kluepfel will arrive later) is just wonderful at the Radisson.
The beds have a dial to set your sleep number. Geesh. What luxury!
I am more or less unpacked, and have FREE INTERNET. So you know I am happy as can be.
I almost panicked when I discovered there are no bottle openers in the room. But, sigh, this is a twist-open bottle. Phew! Manchester has several wonderful restaurants, all in walking distance from the hotel. Last time I was here, I was seriously dieting, and stayed away. Whatever happened to that mindset?
Oh Well. C'est la vie.
Tomorrow I will teach my last ever two sessions of Really Free Motion Machine Quilting. Woowoo!
Say hello to my quilt for me.

I hate to tell you this, but you should have taken the ruined luggage to the airline for a replacement! The handle on my suitcase got bent on a flight and my husband was able to get me a brand new replacement. The best thing was that the first suitcase was a freebie give away from the local grocery store and the replacement was much much nicer! So next time, take it to the airlines and ask for a replacement, it never hurts to ask!
ReplyDeleteThere's a great Hungarian Restaurant if you come out of the convention center and go left it's a couple of blocks up on the left. It looks a bit like a hole in the wall, but the food was great!
ReplyDeleteAh Ha! You sure did look guilty carrying that brown paper bag into the hotel. Mystery solved.
ReplyDeletePoor Dave, I'll bet he's not drinking Sea Dog back on the Plateau!
ReplyDeleteyou lucky girl. you have landed in the land of micro-breweries. Live it up Babe! Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteA farewell session...sort of sad and sort of happy. I hope your class throws a big party for you or vice versa! Or something...just a party.
