And that’s a wrap

IC 2022 is done. The first in person IC after two years virtually do to COVID. It was great to be together in person, it was a great success. I’m looking forward to bigger and better things next year.

So it was an early wake up on Sunday morning. I scrambled around getting all my things together and bringing my car over. I managed to get everything packed and loaded in my car with enough time to check out right before I had to head over for the closing ceremony.

The closing ceremony was a closing ceremony, fairly long and only mildly interesting. I think sometimes closing ceremonies can be harder because you know they mean the end of a fun event and you don’t want to celebrate the end. The highlight was probably getting to see the Kambala middle & senior teams perform their action plan presentations – as they both one their divisions they got to perform them at the closing ceremony which was cool.

Australia had some good results, which was great to see. I’ve put a list at the bottom of the post if you’re interested. At the conclusion of the ceremony I hung around a bit, I was down to help backup but I don’t think Was very useful. I chatted to a few people, then decided it was time for me to head to y AirBnB in Boston. After a quick stop at Walmart to make use of the bathrooms I headed off to Boston and arrived without incident, though it did take a few laps to find parking. The rooms was good, it’s occurring to me now that I should have taken pictures of my accommodation, I’ll try and do that from now on. I was hungry, very tired and had a headache (first symptoms even if I didn’t recognise them at the time). So I went for an early dinner of pizza and chicken which I walked down and got. It was good, but I’m still not sold on potato on a pizza… Then it was time for an early night.
