SPN con adventure update

[vyperdd]

Made major progress with booking things for my big Con trip to the USA which is just 2 months away.

It's going to be quite the mixed adventure as I'm doing all my internal travel on Greyhound buses -- LA-Vegas (5 hours), Vegas-Denver (23 hours) and Denver-LA (19 hours) The last two legs are overnighters, thereby saving myself 2 nights accommodation. Where I'm staying is even more interesting, ranging from 6-bed dorms in hostels in LA and Denver to the 5-star Sheraton (PasCon) and Marriott (DenverCon) hotels on the con weekends. In between I'm staying for 4 nights at the 3 star El Cortez hotel & casino in Vegas that my travel agent found for me for just $67/night.

Now that travel and rooms have been taken care of, I can put all my savings towards spending money for merchandise and photo-ops at the 2 cons and general day-to-day living expenses. The budget is still going to be super tight but I know I'll have enough to have a good, fun trip.

Autos & Photos I'll be getting are:

Denver- Autos (All included with Gold ticket)
Jared, Jensen, Misha, Mark Sheppard, Gil McKinney, Tahmoh and Mark Pellegrino

That's going to be an amazing adventure! You must be beyond excited! Apart from Jensen and Jared *still swooning*, I loved meeting Travis and Ruth, they are both lovely people, so friendly and much better looking in real life! I look forward to hearing all about it, and traveling by Greyhound bus sounds really romantic - it's probably not! - but what a great way to see some of the country too. Woo hooooo!

The bus travel is truly a financial decision but I'm hoping it will be lots of fun too. I'll get to see parts of America that I just wouldn't if I was flying everywhere.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, not just the boys. There will be 15 different guests spread over the two cons, so I'll be getting lots of autos and hopefully heaps of photos if I can afford them.

Depending on my access to free - wifi, I'm going to do my best to update LJ as much as I can. This trip is certainly that I will want to relive for as long as possible.
