While I'm really looking forward to the once a year Traveller (game) convention I'm off to, it's quite a journey and it's unfortunate that I start pretty exhausted from running a two hour workshop on Google for university staff (not to mention just getting my luggage here in the morning).

For a weekend that's mostly about sitting around you'd think it would be no trouble. Sadly not. I've already booked Monday off to recuperate and will be interested to see how it goes this year when I remember finding it tiring last year before I really started going downhill.

The other slight frustration, given it's a weekend all about the 'far future' is that I will almost uncertainly be unplugged from the internet for the duration. There is wifi at the hotel but I'm not prepared to pay $15 a day just to connect in the little free time there is! Call me mean.
