Day two in Arizona. The Virtual Schools Symposium Conference.

Today was back at work again.  It is Sunday here and we spent the day at the conference. Before that we went quickly to Old Navy and Best Buys. We arrived at the Rennisance Hotel, which is right next door to the Cardinals Stadium.  The Stadium is massive.  Today there was a major game on and everyone gets there early and sets up tents in the car park and has BBQs.  Apparently the Cardinals lost, which dissapointed the locals.  Around the stadium is a whole little city.  It is all on a much bigger scale than the MCG.  There is a little shopping centre with ridiculous billboards and lights everywhere.  At the conference they had a trade show in the evening where vendors promote their products and give away things.  I got a T-shirt, 3 USB drives, a pair of sunglasses, a backpack, drink bottle (a good one!) notepads, tape measures and a whole lot of other things I dont need!  I will have to chuck a bit out as it all adds to my weight taking things home.  I may use the backpack as carry-on luggage and check in my big backpack if i weigh too much. Tommorow is an early start at 7.00!  It will go until late (I thought today would go later but luckily it didnt). Below are some photos of the day:
