Finally an update

First day in CA!

Well!!!!! We are here! We arrived at our Hilton hotel around 11:30p last night. Courtney and my original flight was cancelled; so, we ended up going on a later flight to Salt Lake City, Utah and then San Diego. It was interesting to say the least. We all decided that we were going to sleep later today because the SPSU AUV team does not have to be at the competition to register and for orientation until 2pm, and it is in our hotel ballroom. Of course, when I get excited, I am up too early. I have been up for about an hour and a half (about 8:15am is when I got up CA time). We went to sleep around 2a this morning (CA time).

Last night, when we got settled, we found Del Taco and Jack-in-the-Box. David has praised the Del Taco out here. We had to try it. It was pretty good I must say! :)

Today, I think that Courtney and I are going to try to head to Sea World, while the team works! She isn't up yet so I will have to double check.

Apparently, at the Hilton Hotels (like all the other so-called fancy, nicer hotels), we have to pay to park and for internet. Parking is $17.00 per day... YES!!!! Per Day!!!! ARGG?! Then we have to pay for internet, which I think they said was around $11.00 per day! yes! Again, per day! So, my blogs may not be everyday, but I will try to see what the wallet permits.

I hope that everything is great in GA. See everyone when we get home in a week.

Love always,

Constance

Day before we leave

Hello everyone!!!!! This will be my last post before we leave for San Diego. Today is David's oldest brother, Bryan's, birthday!!!! Happy birthday to Bryan!

Tomorrow we leave Rockmart, Georgia for the SPSU AUV lab to meet everyone around 8:30-9a. We plan to leave around 12-1230p. My flight leaves Birmingham Airport at 3:40p *(Alabama Time = 4:40p Georgia Time) and arrives in San Diego at 8:19p (Cali time = 11:19pm Georgia time). David will leave Alabama at 5:28p (6:28p Georgia time) and arrive in San Diego around 9:55p (12:55a Georgia time).

We will be returning to Georgia July 17, 2007 and should be home around 11:30p-12m.


GOOD LUCK SPSU AUV Trident TEAM! MAKE US PROUD! BEAT GA TECH, DUKE, FLORIDA, & MIT! :)

Almost ready for the San Diego Trip

Well, today is Friday, July 6, 2007. We have about four more days until we leave of our trip to San Diego. We shall be there until July 17, 2007. I am excited. I wish that we were going to go to Texas to see Jason, Julie, Jack, Nolan, and Eli Bell on the way home. Maybe next time!!! :)

As always, I plan to make a packing list for both the trip there and the trip back, but haven't done it yet! OCD can be bad too!!! :)

Bryan, Fran, Sean, Sara, and Selie are all gone to Gatlinburg with Fran's parents until tomorrow sometime. I cannot wait for them to return. I miss them. Fran and I have become very close; I think of her as a best friend and a sister... It is nice to have someone to talk to about things and share things with....Even the stupid, crazy things. :)

I sold my Honda on eBay (Yes, eBay!) and got more money than I had asked; therefore, I am so happy. Well, the money is spent on the trip, but that doesn't matter.

David is going to start interviewing and applying to jobs when we return. School starts again soon! I am incredibly excited about that!

I will try to post a blog and pictures everyday, but cannot guarantee that. I will try though. David will try to post blogs and pictures for the competition on the SPSU AUV website. It is www.spsuauv.org.
