We are finally set up in our hotel room, complete with high speed wireless access. My cow-orker A. gave me the bright idea of bringing one of my wireless routers to complement the hotel’s high-speed internet. On top of this, I can tunnel NFS over the connection, so I can access my home network drives from the comfort of my lap, anywhere in the room. Excellent.

Anna and I went to the pool after dinner, while Jen fed Tara. I added a photo to the first travel post, and will be doing that for most of the time on this trip; if you’re reading these posts on Blogines or some other RSS reader, you should probably go back later and see the photos, as some of the posts I will do on my camera-less phone, adding in the photos later.

Anna had a terrific time at the pool–really better than I have ever seen her in the water. She went right in and showed very little fear. With a little coaxing, she even swam around by herself while holding on to a couple of noodles. The pool water seems pretty warm, oh I’m guessing SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 104 AND 106 DEGREES. Actually it was more like 88-90 degrees, so that you can jump right in with no adjustment at all.

The hotel is pretty much dominated by the hockey tournament; all the suites are reserved for the tournament, and there’s another hotel involved as well. Jen’s first game is at 10:30 tonight, so we definitely won’t be bringing the family to see it; but at some point in the weekend, I’ll take the girls along to see one of the games. I wonder if there’s any restriction prohibiting players from nursing between shifts.
