7 months pregnant + 10 hours of traveling is NOT fun!

So I am in Austin, Texas right now for the 88th Annual National College Media Convention.  I got sent here with 3 other workmates for my work at the school newspaper and it is nothing like I expected.  This convention is huge!  It is located in the Hilton Hotel (which is also where we are staying) and throughout the three days, there are numerous workshops and lectures from professionals around the country about things concerning college campus news rooms.  So basically its for for writers, editors, graphic designers, photographers and other journalist related materials.  Its pretty cool!  There are thousands of college students roaming around the hotel right now from all over the country.  This must be one of the busiest times in this hotel cause people are just everywhere.  Our room is on the 24th floor and its such a long time to get down to the lobby cause the elevator literary stops at every single level. 

So about the traveling...NOT FUN AT ALL!!!!

I love love to travel! Long plane rides with small economy seats doesnt bother me that much either.  My trick is that I get myself so tired the night before so that I can sleep all through the flight and wake up just before landing.  So that's what I did.  As it turned out, this trick doesnt really agree with pregnancy.  Besides, baby had a different plan...he wanted to play and poke and kick and just not settle the whole dang time!  So I pretty much stayed up the whole of the flight.  Then we had a very short layover in Houston where we had to rush off to our next flight.  So pretty much jogging from one terminal to another because Houston airport is HUMANGUUUUSSSS!!!!! Then the most turbulencey (not a word but oh well) flight I have even been in.  Our plane from Houston to Austin was this little mini plane with 3 seats per row.  It was crazy small and we felt every little tug and every little drop!  It didnt help that we were going through rain clouds aswell.  Anyways, we got to Austin in prefect condition and our wonderful boss, Sis. Lambert, picked us up from the airport with her sister.  

So basically, if any of you pregnant people out there plans on getting on a plane for 10 hours. Prepare yourself for have a very very LONG day!  Its hard to get comfortable with all the baggage moving around your tummy.  

Oh and for the record, because it cost extra to take check in a baggage.  This is the first time that I have ever travelled with everything in my carry on baggage.  Cant exactly say that I am traveling light though because it still got pretty heavy. 

and im going to be boring and not put photos on this entry.  Ill do it when I get back in Hawaii...
