ShadowRaven Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Day 1 Greetings friends. Welcome to the saga of Shadowraven and brother. Our trip began this morning at the unholy hour of 4:00 am That. thus far, was the best part. Security boarding, customs, yada yada. No issues really, but our flight to houston was delayed by steady headwinds from Canada, on the whole way through. Fortunately, we made our conection without any reall issues, but that my friends is where the fun began. You see I booked my flight to Dallas Fort Worth. We did not arrive in DFW though, we arrived over in Love Field. Which made meeting up with Cash an impossibility. He was, thankfully, able to recieve my text,though could not respond in kind. Thankfully Reaper's forums where something of a priority, while I waited, and he wisely left a PM explaining things from his end. A cab ride through traffic that made this Canadian boy shake his head and we made it to HGI and the convention center. To find, surprise surprise. I thought my room was paid for in advance on my parents credit card (thanks Dad) but it was not. Nor did mine have sufficient funds to cover it with the exchange rate. I came down with $500 in American cash I now have less than $5. I am not without funds, thankfully, and the money that I gave my folks for the room is going to be added to my bank account tomorrow, so I can get some more. But this is shaping out to be an adventure. Now my friends, I am off with my brother to find something to eat. Did I mention that the flight delay meant we missed lunch? No? well we did.

Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted April 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hmm. I think I'll wait for the movie of Shadowravens Adventures in ReaperLand to come out.

ShadowRaven Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well. In for a penny in for a pound. My passport is missing. We learned of this late of course, meaning the love field lost and found is closed, as is the main office for the cab company we took. So I shall be making enquiries on the morn, to you whom pray, I would much appreciate that, to the rest,good thoughts would also be much appreciated.on the plus side. the Canadian Consulate is in Dallas, so worst case I can get passport assistance through them. But for now, I go downstairs and see if there are any old friends not yet met. I fear this may be my first, and last reapercon though. I do not do stress well at all. At all.

Pingo, that was epic. an epic Epic if you would. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
