Back to the story. I was in Austin at Dell last week presenting to their international teams about podcasting, got home, and left for South Dakota a few days later. I’m nursing a crushed heel so all the walking is wiping me out as well. With everything going on, I landed in South Dakota where the amazing Korena Keys of Key Media Solutions drove us around the Black Hills showing us the incredible sites. Side note – this may be the best United States destination I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been all over the country.
As we drove out to the mountains to do some wine tasting, it started snowing. Not a flake here or there… it was really coming down. It was absolutely beautiful… but there was only one problem.
I was so busy packing and planning that I forgot to bring a sweater or coat with me! I’m not sure what I was thinking. Who goes to the mountains in October without even packing a jacket? (Me!)
