Back from the land of Jaguars.
Well, not the really cool Jaguars, just the Jacksonville kind.
The trip was good and it was certainly nice to have some sun. The actual workshops at the AMWA meeting were a bit hit and miss. I would say that the workshops focused on something practical were the most effective. There just isn't enough time to go big picture.
Jacksonville itself is very large and sprawling, and I barely saw any of it. It's a hardcore football town from what I can gather.
The highlight (other than getting to develop a conference crush, which is always fun) was the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. It's got beautiful greenery, is nicely laid out, and is easy to walk. I got to pet a stingray, feed a giraffe, and get stared at hungrily by a jaguar. (Also, the bonobos and the gorilla are divas who pose for the camera.)
Now I have to gather my receipts, and hope these glasses don't break more before I can get them fixed.
