Update! Pictures Here
Well, it took 2 days, but we made it back from Savannah — here’s the story of the trip. We flew there a week ago Saturday and had a few days to aclimatize before the classes started. I took two full day classes on Assisted GPS (using a cell phone with some some external base station support to get a position) and Differential GPS (hich, despite all my years in the biz, I have never really dug into). After that the exhibition and paper presentations went for three days. Most people headed home Friday night or Saturday, but we stayed on until Sunday — our ultimate downfall — I’ll explain later.
Savannah itself is a pretty cool old place. Definately a European flavour, but very American. A bit of a college town it seems. We found a lot to do, and I’ll be getting some pictures up on the squid in a while.
Getting home, our plane from Savannah to Chicago was late, forcing us to miss our connecting flight, so we went on stand-by for the next and last flight from Chicago to Calgary for the day. No luck. The next flight they could get us on was 5:00 tonight! So, we went to a hotel downtown and made the best of it. Did a little sightseeing this afternoon, and here we are, back home.
Terry and Viv were going through O’Hare at the same time we were — so we kept our eyes peeled for them, but no luck. It IS a huge airport, so the chances of actually bumping into them was very low, but I looked at everyone we passed!
Good pics….looks like you used the RiverWalk a lot, since you were staying across the River. I also love your interior pic of the Great Bean in Chicago. Cool repeating flowing scene.
