Lab challenges and con musings

[vecturist]

Well, my lab research has been dealt a minor setback. I had planned to grow my cultures at my old lab (the company I had worked for full-time for 5 years and part-time on and off for 3). Even though I was no longer an employee, I still had friends and contacts in the Phoenix office. The reason I wanted to use their lab space was to avoid a

I haven't looked at flights to London in a while. I'm kind of scared to do so.

At this year last time, we already knew Paul McGillion was coming. I wish they'd hurry up and announce some guests already.

I'm really hoping prices come down after Labor Day - right now tickets are about $300 more than last year. How did you like flying Virgin to London - I may book with them out of either LA or San Fran? Unfortunately, British Airways has the only direct flight from Phoenix to London, but they don;t have flights on Wed., the day I'd like to leave Phoenix.

I'm about 70% sure I'm going to Burbank - timewise it's very doable - I'd fly in early Saturday morning and leave Sunday evening (thank you Southwest). Meeting DH would definitely be cool (and I wouldn't mind seeing Kavan again).

I'll know in about a month if I can afford to go and splitting a room with you would be great (the most annoying things I'll probably do will be wanting to go for an early morning run and grading lab quizzes if I have a spare moment).

Virgin Atlantic is awesome! I just checked prices: round trip SF to London is $811. Everything else is upwards of $800. Ouch.

Haven't booked anything for Burbank (still in the serious planning stage!) but the plan is to come in Friday evening and fly out Sunday evening.
