LATISM 2011 Conference in Chicago

My younger sister and I landed in Chicago earlier today after our own special adventure at LaGuardia Airport courtesy of Delta Airlines.  Let's just say I am happy we made it to Chicago without any major delays.  I can't wait for all the activities planned for the conference.  We already had a taste of things to come with the welcome party tonight.  Good company, good food, and some dancing.  Tomorrow, we start bright and early!  Follow the #LATISM11 hashtag and the #LATISM hashtag to be part of the experience!
