Not the trip itself, just the logistics of hanging out downtown during the day going to meetings at client buildings and coffee shops and such with no place to dump my gear or go back to to kill some time.
Tomorrow I will fly in around 11 and have a few meetings downtown and then taking a few people out for beer and the Flames game. After the game I was planning to head back to my parents house in the deep SE to visit for the weekend.
I will be ice climbing this weekend so I will have a good sized bag.
I have considered renting a car so I have a mobile storage locker but then I have to pass on beer at the game.
I have considered getting a hotel for the day to leave my stuff but that seems like a huge waste of money.
I have considered bringing my bag into a hotel that I stay at occasionally and asking them to check it for me but am not sure if that would work or if they would think I am a terrorist.
I can drop my bag off with the guy I am ice climbing with on Saturday so that he can take it home and get it the next day but then I am getting ready to go climbing with the same clothes that I wore to the game.
I can take a taxi to Cranston to drop my bag and then head downtown but that takes a ton of time.
The Dome doesn't have lockers that I could dump my bag in for the day.
Maybe the bus station will have lockers?
There must be a better solution but I can't think of it.
