Back from Rochester!

May 15, 2011 by Ally Carter Leave a Comment

Hi everyone!

I’m home from the utterly amazing Teen Book Festival in Rochester, New York!

It was a great, great festival with somewhere over 2,000 teens in attendance.  Some people drove up to 5 hours to be there, and that’s amazing.

And speaking of driving…

I had some travel woes.  It began when I missed my connection in Newark.  From there, my super awesome publicist arranged for a car service to drive me to Rochester.  Yes–all five and a half hours to Rochester!  It was quite a trek but worth it.

Then today I had some MORE travel woes when my flight out of Rochester was delayed for an hour due to bad weather in Chicago.  But I DID make it to Chicago 15 minutes before my connection was about to take off.

Gate Agent:  Passenger Carter.  Last call for passenger Carter.

Me:  I’m here!  I’m here!  I’m here!

Gate Agent who didn’t hear me:  Passenger Carter, we are about to close the–

Me: I’M HERE!

And then I had to run down a flight of stairs and go out into the rain and get on a plane.

So, in short, the festival was great.

Travel is a huge hassle.

I really want one of the iPads with internet now because that would have been great to have on this trip.

And I have a ton of work to do.

That pretty much wraps up my weekend!

Ally

    I’ve never been to Rochester, but I do like Mr. Rochester.
