<- Lunch in Alpharetta | Main | That stinks ->

Various Items
Hotel:
I've checked in and I have a first floor room right across from the pool. I'm thinking I'll take a dip before dinner, maybe it'll wake me up a bit. The wireless network is a nice feature, I'm going to find out later if I can use the computer outside. There's a nice patio downstairs and if tomorrow's like today, it'll be a nice place for dinner (unless dinner is provided by the conference). They also have remote printing, but I don't think I'll need to worry with that.
Rental car:
When I made a reservation for the car, I also downloaded a coupon from the Budget site for a one-class upgrade. When I gave it to them at the counter, she said that they were a franchise and that they did not take that coupon. Oh well, at least I tried. Then, she did her computer thing that she needed to do and said that they were out of compacts and were giving me a mid-size at the same price.
I'm driving a Dodge Stratus. Not to bad, but I have to sit pretty far back from the steering wheel and that's a little odd. When I pulled the luggage out I noticed that there was a glow in the dark pull tab for the trunk release in case you get stuck in the trunk. Is that a problem? Are there a lot of people crawling into trunks and getting stuck?
Other things:
I took a trip up to Dawsonville (or something like that) to the outlet mall that they have. Nothing spectacular. Picked up Impossible Creatures and a gift for Teri and Kevin.
TV stinks right now, and I miss the TiVo...best thing on is Swim Fan and that doesn't look that good. Time for food and or a swim.
