One day to #MantiCon2015. See you soon Minneapolis/Mall of America/Airport hotel! Hilton had trouble deciding on the name & went with yes.
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 21, 2015 I get suspicious when the airline asks me to take a flight credit and then follows up with "see agent" instead of an assigned seat. #travel
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 Seat assignment achievement unlocked! #MantiCon2015 or bust!
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 United is considering stealing my husband and sending me on to Chicago without him. I'm suspicious. Very suspicious. #MantiCon2015

— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 #United dragon airlines removed a less fortunate mortal from the manifest to grant Andy a seat on dragon Canadair. To #MantiCon2015, we fly!
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 Great metal dragon Canadair has flown us to Chicago. His smaller United kin-beast GoJet is to carry us the rest of the way. #MantiCon2015
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 The Dragon GoJet is uncommonly fond of sardines. As I am not a small fish, I find the close quarters in this metal belly uncomfortable.
— Joelle Presby (@JoellePresby) May 22, 2015 Wisdom from Tiny Dragon GoJet: if your ✈️ ticket is cheap, there's a reason. Speak not of legroom. My seat mates & I took turns breathing.

A quick word about my social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, & Pinterest: I only decline friend requests from poorly programmed bots. All humans and well designed bots welcome! (I object to bots-presenting-as-humans, but as a science fiction writer I find the good ones strangely compelling. That, and I don't want to irritate our coming robotic overlords.)
