The Traveling Logistics of a Speaker - 53 Hours Later

We semi joke that speakers don't get paid to speak, but rather to show up on time as that is the hardest part of the job. To show you what I mean, here's what the last 53 hours of my life looked like:

Feb 26th

5:00pm - drive 1 hour to Lake Forest
6:30pm - Myspace/Facebook Training at Lake Forest College
9:00pm - drive back to Chicago
11:00pm - fall asleep

Feb 27th

3:00am - wake up head to airport
5:45am - fly to Atlanta
8:30am - drive 3 hours to Albany, GA
1:00pm - Myspace/Facebook Training at Darton College
3:30pm - drive to Albany airport
5:15pm - fly to Atlanta
9:55pm - fly to Dallas
11:55pm - drive to hotel in Dallas

Feb 28th

1:00am - fall asleep
4:40am - wake up and drive to airport
6:40am - fly to Shreveport
7:40am - drive to Bossier Parish Community College
11:00am - Myspace/Facebook training at BPCC
4:50pm - drive to Shreveport airport
6:50pm - fly to Houston
9:15pm - fly to Chicago
11:34pm - drive home

It's hard for me to wrap my head around this logistic nightmare, but fortunately for me I don't have to because of our logistics guru goddess, Emma. If it weren't for her, I would probably cry :)

UPDATE - Someone asked me how much coffee I drank. The answer, none. I don't drink caffeine. I figure if my body can't do it "el natural" I probably shouldn't be doing it.
