This last weekend, Laetitia and I went to Bakersfield for the state board meeting of the National Smooth Dancers. We flew out there on Friday, which took us from San Diego to LAX, and from there to the Bakersfield airport. We entertained ourselves in the layover with the iPod video and lots of crossword puzzles and conversation. Each leg of the flight wasn't even a half hour... we wondered why we didn't drive since the total travel time was around 5 hours to get there.We had a decent hotel room with a comfortable bed, so we were well rested for the events of the next day: a Tango workshop, judging their ballroom competitions, and doing a 4-dance exhibition that evening.
It all went really well, and they were an awesome audience. Rarely to do you get a room full of people in black tie that actually know how to ballroom dance... I wish I had some pictures/video of that.
Our trip back on Sunday was a little rough. The LAX to SD leg was delayed, which gave us some time to eat at LAX, but we just wanted to go home. Anyway, we made it back in one piece :D
