Hey everyone, if you aren’t aware, I am currently in Maine. I’ll be doing a daily blog (hopefully) about how each of my days have gone. I’m sad to say that I didn’t bring my camera so there won’t be any types of filming. I am posting pictures on Twitter everyone once and awhile so make sure you click the Twitter icon to the right of the page to follow and see some cool pictures of the convention that I’m at. Let me get started with my first day which includes travel and Maine!
The first thing that I did like everyone else on this planet was wake up! I slept at my mothers house, the night before so I would be closer to my location. I woke up at 6:30am to shower and finish packing my body wash and such. Before long, I was on the road to Maine, USA.
On the journey up, I stopped at a few rest stops to get some gas and snacks. The main stop was Wendy’s and let me tell you something, I ate like a champion. I bought the double Baconator with a large fry and large soda. Definitely hit the spot!
From Wendy’s, I did a direct shot to finish out the trip to Maine. Once I arrived in Maine, there was a little confusion as to where I would be staying. I ended up getting a room in a dorm at the University of Northern New England (UNE). It’s in Biddeford, Maine…interesting town!
Yes, the rooms are nice but there is no AC. I have been sweating my behind off but I’ll be ok. People would be lucky to have a room like this so I can’t complain to much. We have turned into people of greediness and that’s not Christian like. We should be grateful for what we can have and own. I can suffer with no AC for a few days. It’s not the end of the universe.
Anyway, after successfully checking into my room, I ended up going to a main event in Old Orchard Beach Pavilion. A great corps band played an amazing concert. It’s amazing that they were from California. If you know much about the Salvation Army, you will know that the Western Territory doesn’t have a Staff Band. To have a corps band at such a high talent level is beyond my imagination. I think it’s amazing! Just think of how great they would be if they had a Staff Band for people to feed off of.
After the meeting was over, I headed down to the Pier to hang out with some friends and get some Pier Fries. If you haven’t been to OOB to witness some Pier Fries, take the trip. You’ll thank me later!
After hanging out and playing a few arcade games, it was time to head back to the dreaded room without AC. Sorry, I’ll stop complaining about this now…like I said, we should be grateful!
Now that I’m in my room, I watched a show on Netflix and did some texting before heading to sleep around 1:30am. Maybe tomorrow evening, I won’t go to sleep so late. I have to wake up at 7am all week. Going to bed at such a late hour is probably not the brightest ideas!
This was day one of my trip to Maine. Come back tomorrow to read what I have to say about day two!
