19 hr PLUS 1 hr 40 min Trip to Boston

Via Newark - on an Airbus 340.

NOT exactly very excited on this LONG trip though ... No prizes for guessing where I am going though. Here are some stats for the event.

1,250,000 pieces of "Mikes & Ikes" will be consumed over the course of a week at Tech Ed 2006
18,750 pounds of salad will be prepared and offered at meals
83,700 ice cream novelty/ fruit and yogurt bars have been ordered for this function
60,000 eggs will be eaten by attendees at breakfast (this is equal to 4,800 dozen cartons of eggs)
It will take 4 semis to transport the 150,000 bottles of water consumed on this show
The total amount of fruit ordered will fill 3/4 of full size tractor-trailer
1.6 million ounces of coffee will be poured and consumed (conservative estimate)
More than 50,000 pounds of carbohydrates will be consumed at Tech*Ed (Atkins who?)
1,500 table cloths will be used and re-set on a daily basis: (7,500 for the week)
A minimum of 2,000 antacid tablets are likely to be consumed at this event

Talk about Americans being number-crazy-crunchers.
