I've just arrived at the Doubletree Hotel, the venue for this year's Confluence. The trip here was incredibly smooth: Up at 6 AM, out the door at 6:40, airport at 7:20 (without a minute waiting for a bus or train), through security by 7:40, breakfast (surprisingly affordable, apparently Logan Airport is now enforcing their long-standing no-gouging policy?), board plane at 8:30. Comfortable flight, no delays, shuttle from airport to hotel (called GOOG-411 for the hotel's number, which I had forgotten to write down), warm cookie at check-in, great accommodations. Con registration was (apparently) supposed to be from 11, but they don't seem to have set up quite yet.
