Sunshine PHP Conference in Florida (Part 1)

Hello World! 

We are back after a long break this time though with some different event. I look at it professional with a pinch of personal sentiment attached to it.

Let us take care of some preliminary details first. 

Origin: Oxford, OH

1st Airport: Cincinnati, OH

2nd Airport: Atlanta

Destination: Miami, Florida

Date: Feb 4th to 6th - 2016

I will delve into more details about how the actual conference went pretty soon.

This is how the onward journey looked like. 

Oxford - Cincinnati - Atlanta - Miami:

It was a beautiful Wednesday, Flight was at 2:19 pm from Cincinnati to Miami with break in Atlanta. I left home at 11 am where Serve them taxi services was ready to pick me up at exact 11 am from home in Oxford. It took exactly 1 hr to reach CVG(Cincinnati) airport from home. We touched Kentucky. On the road, I came to know that Kentucky is birth place of Abraham Lincoln.

After security clearance, reached gate B09 in CVG airport by 1230pm. Flight was 20 minutes delayed which was not that long delay. Delta airlines encouraged most of their passengers checkin their carry on bags to reach their final destination so everyone can have luggage free journey. :) .  Flight took off at 2:39 from Cincinnati and reached Atlanta at 410pm local time. My seat number was 36A and I was able to see my carry on bag coming out of the conveyor from Airplane which felt exciting.

From Atlanta, it was gate B23 and flight took off at 526pm (DL 1157) and landed Miami, Florida at 709pm. In the baggage claim section, bag was ready to be pushed out when I reached the baggage claim terminal. After coming out had to wait a little bit to catch the Embassy suites shuttle which runs every 20 minutes back and forth from Miami airport. You need to have super eyes to locate the shuttle and get in front of it or wave to get the service. :) But the driver was generous to welcome everyone to Miami and let us know tini tiny details about the hotel.

Reached the Embassy Suites hotel by 820 pm, checked in room #227 which was luckily just above the main room where conference speakers were going to speak. Hotel was 10 levels in size and was enclosed on the top. This was my first time in enclosed hotel and atmosphere inside seemed so natural with plants, cleanliness, birds enjoying in their own mood without carrying about others.

Are we ready for the event? Lets go for it.
