Dallas 2022 – Getting There

Here I am again traveling; however, this time I’m traveling for work. This is a rare thing because normally schools districts don’t have money, but we have partnered with Carnegie Learning for a new math curriculum. Hence this a future posts will be more focused on what I’ve learned at the conference in Dallas.

I’m flying American Airlines because someone else is paying. I don’t fly with AA much and I’m glad this is a short trip so I can bring carry-on instead of checked bags that cost extra. I’m also in the back of the plane in an isle seat. ☹️

Flying on a much smaller plane than what I normally fly with Southwest. Just checked the AA app to see how full the flight is and it’s fully booked. The flight is 1.5 hours or so. I wonder if they serve a snack?

Advantage at being at the back of the plane with people that don’t like Dr. Pepper.

Took an Lyft to the hotel from the airport. An Uber cost twice the price.

Well, it’s not fair to do this but I’m going to compare my Dallas room to the NYC one… You could fit two of the NYC in this one room at the Omni in Dallas.

Started to feel hungry and remembered I hadn’t had lunch an it’s 1:30 PM. So time to Google restaurants. Going to try out Cork and Pig Tavern. In the process of navigating with Google my phone overheated thanks to the Texas heat a lack of shade. I did find the place. I wish the inside could have lived up to its name. The tavern had too much of an industrial feel for me to call it a tavern. The wood oven pizzas looked good though. Now I was eating alone and really shouldn’t eat a whole pizza by myself even though I could. 🤪🍕Went for the Scottish Salmon and roasted broccoli.
