Since many of us are staying at the Hilton when we're in STL for the Gathering, and that Hilton offers free high speed internet, I wonder if we will have a chat on October 10? We could all chat with each other online!

Wondering what to call me? Just keep it simple, call me Misty. Even if you know my real name through other avenues, I don't prefer it, and I'm sort of surprised I answer to it outside of work anymore.
Know I'll be in your area? Look for the orange backpack and feel free to call me out if you have a few minutes to chat. 
Officially Select Plus for 2013 as of 11/27/12 :3
Booking a Hostelling International stop in the United States as part of a trip? I've noticed it's cheaper to book through http://www.hiusa.org/ instead of by a similar URL that they also hold - for some reason, the one I don't list charges a booking fee, among other things.

- Interests:I like riding trains, in First Class, Sleeper, or Coach. (If just a short jaunt) I expect courteous service, equipment that works, arriving close to "on time", & clean windows. Is that too much to ask for?
