AKC 2011 Agility Invitational

Over the next couple of days I hope to entertain you a little bit with pictures from our trip to Orlando and our experiences outside the rings of the AKC National Agility Invitational.  As soon as we get our pictures back from the event I'll share with you those stories and experiences from inside the ring.

Laura waiting for her flight

As you can see there were a couple of dogs flying out that morning, for the record it was early 7:20 am to be exact and Laura was not in the best of spitits knowing she was in for a long bumpy ride in the baggage compartment of the plane.  But Delta was great they took us out of the commoners line and check us in special which means Laura got a little more personal attention and a longer stay outside her crate.  Once we were checked in the gentleman who checked us in escorted us to TSA to be checked by security and then to the door which took her to baggage and the plane.  
Laura was in the luggage transfer vehicle to the left.
Laura actuallly was loaded about 20 minutes before me and as you can see it was a miserably cool and rainy day. But she was on the plane and I was on the plane so all was good. Next stop Orlando.
We arrived in Orlando right on schedule and made it to the hotel without any problems.  Dumb me I forgot to take pictures ot the trip.  Of special interest would of been the vehicle in which we were transported.  A brand new black Cadillac Escalade, with a chauffeur to match. 
Laura met Santa at check in

Once we got checked in and settle it was time to explorer and find out where we were going.
Orlando Convention Center Part 1
Orlando Convention Center Part 2
These 2 buildings are across the street from each other.  Naturally we went to the wrong one first.
After almost an hour of walking around we finally found the agility rings.  Problem was we were on a sky walk overlooking them...
It took us almost an hour to walk home as I was lost and trying to figure out what door to leave by..
But we did get back to the hotel (Days Inn) where we were greeted by the staff and escorted to our room..
Tomorrow the people
