On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again . . .

Well, tomorrow I leave for Pennsylvania state conference. They are a very well organized conference, very on the ball. I appreciate that the interpreters for my workshop have already been in touch and we have done some prep. My workshop is not easy, let alone if you aren’t prepared for it. I get frustrated when the interpreters expect me to summarize everything five minutes before we begin – when I would rather finish setting up and talking to the folks in attendance.

I fly out on friday to baltimore and then I am getting a rental car – I love to drive so that should be fun. And it will give me the opportunity to take a side trip up to HERSHEY, PA – the Mecca for all Chocoholics. I hear they even have a chocolate spa . . . .

But I digress. I am really looking forward to the PA conference – it will be my first upclose taste of east coast interpreters. I did a little research on their ITPs in the area and I believe they have two four year programs and one two year program – very similar to Minnesota.

I will actually have some time to hit the other workshops, which will be nice. I think its rather ironic that they have me scheduled for saturday night. Here in Minnesota, Saturday night has been traditionally reserved for the entertainment. I guess my topic could be seen as that [chuckle] but I sincerely want people to find it useful.

So wish me luck and bon voyage and all that jazz!
