Jeff is the best host. He picked me up at the airport and pointed out all the sights and interesting spots on the way to his house. At his house he showed me all the cool places to walk to in the neighborhood, including Deep Ellum and the farmers market. For the four days in a row I spent time each day in these really cool places. The restaurants and shops are so much fun. The room was really nice and homey. The bed was so comfortable that when I woke up I thought I was in my own bed at home. Jeff's place is in walking distance of downtown. I was able to walk back and forth to my conference and it only took 7 minutes each way. One day I decided to take a cab because my time was short. What a mistake, It took 20 minutes and $10. On Saturday I had a 5 hour break in my conference. Jeff loaned me his mountain bike and I was able to hit all the famous tourist spots. At my conference, the emcee had to make an announcement about how sorry the hotel was for all the problems with the hotel rooms. I am so happy that I did not stay where the 2000 other people in my conference did! I had a great place and an awesome time discovering Dallas. I know I had the best time out of everyone in the conference and in addition, I am in great shape from all the walking.
