- A hug from someone who loves me
- Cuddling with someone (or at least a little black and white cat named Jersey)
- Eating a variety of food (particularly good desserts though the ice cream here is quite good)
- Watching Steve Warmowski blush when he tells an innappropriate joke

Even before eating bugs last night, things were pretty interesting.  In an odd turn of events, the Rotary meeting was by far the most formal and in the nicest hotel of all we have attended, but it was the least technicalogically prepared for us.  Every other club has had a projector for us to use, so I have just hooked up my laptop.  Last night was the first time we actually used our own projector.  (At least it got some use.)

The exciting part was getting it set up.  We were having some communication difficulties, and eventually, I was sent up to the sound/light booth.  To get there, I trekked through the servants area to a little room with a seven-foot metal ladder leading up through a hole in the ceiling to a loft.  Once in the loft, one must climb on one’s hands and knees to the window area where at least you can sit up.  It was a challenge doing all of this while carrying alternately a computer, a projector or both.  And for those who don’t know me well, I am 6-2.  Oh, and I was wearing a business skirt, jacket, and heels.  Getting up and down was a trip.  It inspired many giggles from the staff as I tried desperately not to flash them … repeatedly as I seemed to have to venture up and down several times.

Eventually, they let me set up downstairs, which is what I wanted to do the whole time, and we managed to eek out our presentation.  As always, it was an adventure.
