We're leaving tomorrow for a six day trip to Denver. We're driving 15+ hours in one day. Yes, I know it's psycho, dangerous, and just plain dumbth, but we do not have enough money to fly all of us out. I'm sure you're asking yourself why we are going then, but we're actually not paying for most of it. Confused yet? Let me 'splain!
My husband is going to the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) in Denver. The university pays for the registration, the hotel stay, meals, and transportation, but that is only IF he went by himself. Being the good husband that he is, however, he did not want to leave us at home by ourselves for a week. So a deal was struck, and the university will pay for the registration to the conference, half of our hotel fare, and pay us for mileage driven. We have enough money to cover what they don't, but definitely NOT enough to try and find airfare for the hubs, the boy, the dog, and myself.
And I don't like flying. Anyway...
So yes, a week in Denver. Not sure what is out there, but I managed to cop a room two blocks away from the children's museum. Let's just hope the room doesn't suck.
