Back Home Again

I guess I spent about $800 for the six days I was in Madison. Not bad for an international conference.

Highlights from my driver on the trip home:

"I'll pay for your sandwich [$5]; you pay for the gas. [$25]"

[After four hours of driving] "Are you sure you have to go?" ... "If you're not back in a minute and a half I'm leaving without you." [Seven minutes later. Car is running. I get in and the car is backing up before I've even closed the door.] "You know I almost left without you."

[For the only period (ten minutes) that we drove less than 10 mph over the speed limit] "I hate trucks."

Did I mention it was hot in the car?

I wonder when/if I might manage to get the $80 back for the bus that didn't go from Madison to West Lafayette?
