Part IV Monday at the Dragon

The last day at DragonCon. I have never stayed the entire last day at the con so this was a first. Of course shopping was a must in search of those last deals to be had. Money flowed and many T-shirts were purchased along with a sundry of other knick nacks.

In addition to shopping there was also a reading which I performed of which there were actual warm bodies in attendance...yes and I have witnesses. I read two short stories, Operator and An Amuseing Tale both of which they appeared to enjoy...i.e nobody fell asleep.

Shopping completed and reading performed the traveling duo explored Atlanta in search of the underground...well we never made it...the navigator was directionally challenged, but we had a nice dinner. After which we walked into the main hotel for dessert. What a difference with the crowd thinned considerably. For the first time that weekend we could actually see the floor of the hotel:) Still, there were many folks not wanting the con to end as evidenced by their costumed apparel refusing to give up until the bitter end. The evening comes to a early end with the anticipation of the early morning flight and back to the world of the mundanes.

The Trip Home.
Amazingly enough the flight was on time and fairly smooth...thus leaving the armrests of the seat intact. Landing safely in Richmond, Dragon 2006 came to an end with a very memorable time had by all:)

Sidenote: for all those folks that were at DragonCon and we did not get a chance to meet up with, apologies and best wishes and hope to see you at another con in the future.
