Well, here I am in San Antonio, Texas. I'm just blocks away from the Alamo and the haunted Menger Hotel. I went on a 4 hour tour today of the city to the Alamo and Mission de San Jose. The conference starts in full force tomorrow and I'm excited! Many of my coworkers are here and we're having a grand time.

The weather is unbelievably hot! Very muggy - 90's all day long. Lots of places are air conditioned. We've had Mexican for dinner two nights now - quite good and authentic down here. I also found out that some of my coworkers from IL are here as well, and I'm looking forward to running into them at some point.

There are going to be over 6,000 critical care RN's here from all over the country. We're a rowdy bunch :) Gotta run - will write more when I can! Hope you're all having a great week - I certainly am!
