OK, so, I'm going to Albany, New York, not New York city or anywhere *really* exciting, but I consider that a blessing in this case. First, I'm not sure if I want to travel to NYC alone (for safety and for company) and second, I'm only gone for two nights, so being somewhere exciting and not getting to see it would frustrate me. This way I don't have to stress about where I'm going and I can just enjoy why I'm going, which is twofold: to get a bit of training (it's a demo seminar I'm attending) and to meet the Big Names of the SEO industry (who will also be there checking it out). There's a big industry "social" at a local brewpub on Wednesday night so I expect there'll be some fun thrown in there too. I'll be "covering" the event for the SEOmoz blog, too.
I've got comfy lodging, a cushy per-diem, and a mostly-relaxed itinerary. It's easy to think of it as a fun little adventure, so that's what I'm sure it'll be (provided the weather stays mild out there). Bon Voyage!

Albany's nice. We lived in Victor (Suburb of Rochester) for 5 years of my childhood. My grandmother lives in Auburn and my Aunt and Uncle in Newark. (So I've got peeps in upstate NY!) It's a beautiful area.. but can be messy this time of year with slush! Have fun!!

I'm sorry we won't be seeing you-- if they send you again, put some extra time on one end or the other and have a visit!
Also, don't forget warm clothes-- were're having a 'mild' spell, but that still means cold!
My security word is cyurvd. Which is a good word.
