Hopper Conference – Flying to San Diego

I am in a “phone room” in Sun’s Executive Briefing Center (EBC) in
Menlo Park waiting for a meeting to break up. I have been in the
meeting all day but they are now in executive session. I am
waiting for the others to come out to hear if there are any final
actions I need to take before I can drive to the airport tonight.
I am flying south to San Diego where I will participate in the Hopper
Conference starting early tomorrow morning.

I hope I have everything packed in such a way that San Jose Airport
security will let me through. The new travel rules are confusing and
shifting about what you can take in the cabin and what needs to be
checked in luggage. My husband’s laptop computer board was
smashed in a TSA inspection on our last trip so I have become concerned
about what and how to pack.

I am carrying my handouts for my presentation tomorrow on “5
Years of Mentoring by the Numbers” plus paper copies of the 2004 Research
Disclosure on the SEED Engineering mentoring program. So, my luggage
is heavy. At least I will not have to carry the handouts back home!
