Why am I writing about a conference that ended a few days ago? Because after most conferences we attend (and you may be in this group, too), it is way to common to get back to ‘normal’ life right after a conference ends. We get busy, especially catching up with things un-done while we were away,…

BAcon 2014 – Day 1 Start of the Conversation
A conference named BAcon? Well, you just know it has to be good! Actually, it is GREAT! BAcon stands for the BoardingArea conference and is the time when Randy Petersen and his House of Miles brings together the bloggers that make up BoardingArea (BA) and the new Prior2Boarding (P2B). This year’s conference is the second…
Travelanche!
Yes, this was a Travel Avalanche. I have pretty good travel karma but it caught up to me on a recent trip. While I blogged about it here for my trip from Norway to Colorado Springs and here for the return trip, Joe Sharkey of the New York Times felt there were some lessons to…
Elements of a Good Conference: Reflections on BAcon
I reported on the three days of the BoardingArea BAcon Conference here; BAcon Day 1, BAcon Day 2, and BAcon Day 3. I also talked about my travel ordeals to and from here and here. Now, a quick look back at the overall value of the time spent in Colorado Springs. With more than a quarter century…
BAcon: Day 3
This is my final post about Randy Petersen’s awesome first-ever BAcon conference for BoardingArea bloggers held in Colorado Springs. It began with a 39-hour trek just to get there, followed by Day 1 and Day 2 events. Sadly, I had to leave very early this morning to fly back to Norway. Since I was flying east, I…
Forks (Not Knives!) in the Road: My Travel Tribulations Continue
If the BoardingArea BAcon conference hadn’t been so very worthwhile, I would say that this is my worst trip in years. And that is saying a lot, since I travel some or all of 48 weeks each year. Thankfully, the BoardingArea conference will be a highlight that will long overshadow these travel challenges. As I…
BAcon: Day 2
Yesterday I posted about Day 1 of Randy Petersen’s BAcon conference at the beautiful Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs. Day 2 began early with Randy leading a recap of the previous day and an introduction to what we can look forward to today. This day was different because there were actually two tracks running…
BAcon: Day 1
As I reported before, getting to the BoardingArea Conference – affectionately known as BAcon – was quite an ordeal involving an airline strike that made for an unplanned overnight in Oslo, Norway. This has been a travel tale of taxis, buses, trains, and planes. Oh, and another flight canceled due to weather. But the 39-hour…
BAcon — I’m Trying to Get to You, Really I Am!
My trek to Colorado Springs for Boarding Area’s BAcon conference is going to be an interesting case of planes, trains and automobiles. Wideroe, a regional airline in Norway and the largest regional airline in the Nordic countries, went on strike today. The strike is expected to continue for the next day or two. (This just happens…
You Want Fries with that BAcon?
Later this week the Boarding Area blogs should light up after the majority of BA bloggers plus several other well-known bloggers spend a long weekend with uber leader Randy Petersen in Colorado Springs. Randy created the first ever Boarding Area Conference, which goes by the name of BAcon. Each day is packed with events, which…
