I received official permission to attend SLA in Seattle!!
Since I also provide library services to a group in Wilsonville OR (just south of Portland) I will be rolling two trips into one. Flying into Seattle early, driving to Portland for a few days, driving back for the conference.
I am excited. I have not been to SLA for a few years. I always find it inspiring, energizing, and educational. I booked myself into the conference hotel before I had travel approval which was a good thing as I have a room in the centre of the activity. My knee has been very troublesome so the less walking the better, especially on all those hills.
I have already send an email to those I know asking if they are going as well. It is never too early to plan dinner with friends.
I have been over the programme a few times and have so many conflicts with all the sessions I want to attend, it will be hard to finalize anything. It may come down to walking distance. It just gives me more incentive to be extra diligent about the physiotherapy!
