bearAnthrocon 2013 trip journal
Here's my 2013 Anthrocon journal to the best of my poor memory...
Friday 28 June:For the first time, I would be flying into the United States directly into DFW airport instead of LAX. This represents a saving in time and cost for me not having to take a flight from California to Texas. However, it did mean having to fly up to Sydney to make a ( Read more... ) -
