My Arrival to AGA 2008
As my flight landed in Atlanta, GA, I was finally able to meet my roommate, Jason Baliban. Jason and I have been exchanging conversations over the internet for quite a few years and it was great to finally meet him in person. After we got all of our luggage, we took a shuttle to the Sheraton hotel where we were staying. We dropped off our luggage in our room and headed down to the hospitality room to meet up with planted aquarium enthusiasts. Upon arriving the hospitality room, I was greeted by Cheryl Rogers, checked in and was given my name tag, which I would be wearing for the entire convention. During our time in the hospitality room, we spent time socializing about planted aquariums, getting to know each other a bit more, and participated in a small group talk about Cryptocorynes. As the evening was winding down, Ghazanfar, Aaron, Jay, Jason and I relaxed in the hotel lobby lounge and finished the night with a couple games of poker.
