The day has arrived, it's time for Steemfest! 😁
Guess who's got the screaming child in front?
And a week of posts from the telephone, oh the joys of typing with thumbs. I suspect my average word count per minute is about 7, so I just want you to know that I'm trying, even though these are going to be some shorter pieces this week. Also, if you are after charts or numbers, you are in the wrong place for now. I'll mostly be reporting from the Fest with a selection of un-cropped, out of focus images, but hopefully with something of interest also.
The sun is out here in Palma, Majorca this morning, and I was even greeted with a rainbow on the drive to the airport. Reports from Krakow say the sun is out there too, and this would be a big bonus for the Island guy who, unless it's 40+ degrees, crosses the road to walk in the sun.
I'm traveling 'eco light' today, which means hand luggage only with a max of 8kg. That pretty ungenerous even for hand luggage, but I've made it with a bag that weights 8.35kg. That'll have to do, I can't remember the last time my hand luggage was weighed...
A pretty relaxed atmosphere at the airport today. The summer season is over and so it's a lot quieter than last time I visited in early June. Security and baggage checks took no time at all, and all you can really be grumpy about is the ridiculous prices of food and drink. €3.65/$4 for a bottle of water, just because you can't take liquids through, come on now!
This caught my eye on the walk to my gate, but for the most part it's shops, shops, shops - all selling ripoff priced water.
Something I do have to keep me company is @steemmonsters. And my team is on a bit of a charge at present, climbing rapidly up the league table. I find that after a change in the gameplay, it's possible to rise quickly until, I'm guessing, the bot players adjust their cards. Yep, there are even bots on @steemmonsters - why click 'battle' when the machine can do it while you sleep 😑
Anyway, my current card picks have ability, but are a little inconsistent. Check out this recent result.
And then I'll go lose to a 2800 level player. I'm happy there is a reasonable degree of chance in the game. Sometimes the stuns don't work, sometimes there is no retaliation. These subtle actions make the games varied enough so that you can beat a player convincingly, and then get your ass handed to you just a minute later.
Hopefully I'll collect some free cards again this season, and I wonder how many attendees will be trying to sneak a few games in during the conference days. Perhaps not that many if there phone is like mine - a game of @steemmonsters stealing 8% of my battery this morning, damn!
Alright then, time for the first flight of the day, Frankfurt the destination. I wonder if anyone else attending will be on the flight.
Oh yeah, a quick mention of the Steemfest app, useful for attendees and those wishing to check out a live stream - not that I've seen this mentioned, and watching via the app. through clicking an event would be sweet...
See you later, safe travels, and have a nice day all!
Cheers
Asher
Beat me by 2kg! Ryanair weight limit is 10kg so my bag is 10.3!

A solid packing performance there 😎
Omg I love your expression, the pain in your eyes, hahaha, it's so real!!! Nice superman jawline there too Asher <3 <3 :) Have a great flight, will be back in 10 minutes to upvote LOL!!
😂 Clarke Kent is tougher than me!
Always the screaming child, which has just stopped so fingers crossed!
Back in 10 haha, I forget so often to do that. Thank you, have a great day!
I have a bad memory too, that's why I'm just sitting here drinking coffee, rolling smokes, and staying on your page watching the minutes tick by :)
Ah man, I wish my blog was more entertaining then!
Woop take off, bye for now!
Bon Voyage Sup!
I was laughing at his expression too 😂
😏
REALLY COOL SELFIE 😊😊 oh this is so exciting, have fun and make some great content there! ENJOY YOUR DAY AND GREETINGS TO YOU!
😊😊😊
Thank you @viktoriyani!
I'm not sure the content will be great this week, but I'll try!
Safe travels have fun and don't forget to sneak in and do your Steem Monster quests. You just never know where that gold legendary will show up.
I think that gold legendary turned up 100 packs ago and won't appear again!
Cheers buddy 😁
If you have an Android phone you should try the swipe typing function. Might get you up to ten words a minute :0D
iPhone 5s, an antique!
Blimey. That was an impressive short post @abh2345.
I took all the posting apps off my phone as it was full but I suppose I ought to put one back on. Which one did you use for this. I'm impressed! 😁
Safe travels and see you there.
Thanks Gill!
Text in notepad thingy for iPhone - images and format on Steemit - posted via busy 😁
See you soon!
You're going too? It's going to be great. See you there
Was that to me @steevc? Yep. I'm going tomorrow and nervous as hell 😂
Looking foward to seeing your friendly face.
You will soon have lots of new friends. You may be surprised at how many already know you
Enjoyyyyy, @gillianpearce!!! xxx
Hopefully the kiddo was able to get through the remainder of the flight without screaming. 🤞 Have to agree with our friend Good Ol' Lynds ...... aside from the twinge of distress you're looking very handsome Asher! Looking forward to the updates from the festival!
Aww thank you!
I'm looking a little tired I think, but that's very good of you to say so. Thanks, I'll try to update every day with something of use!
Even with just using a phone as your device for the next one week, this post shows that you'll do just fine.
Looking forward to seeing more post on your journey next few days at Steemfest.
Thank you, I'll try! Takes blimin ages to type but at least the photos are ready to go - except when they are upside down 😁
For that price I'd live without a drink for a couple of hours.
I'm on the coach to London - £10.
£10 fucking quid!
It'd cost me £20 in petrol to drive it.
We'll just have to huddle around the charge points.

Just had a €4 pale ale at Frankfurt, €2 cheaper than a ropey sausage - think I'm winning here! 😁
Plus they had USB charge points, couldn't ask for much more!
That sounds very reasonable.
Gotta love those USB charge points. It's actually amazing how little energy mobile devices use for what they do. It's such a trivial cost to provide them!
Although my coach doesn't have them. Or wi-fi.

Anywhere offering free wifi and/or power automatically gets bumped up a few ratings. 👍🏽
True - although my charging brick is quite good for my phone and the ipad holds its charge marevelously!
And I don't get out much so that's not often an issue.
I've just been looking at the monsters leagues - I really don't fancy my chances when I get into gold let alone diamond.
Not a lot I can do against a team of maxed out epic and legendary cards. Thankfully where I am atm that can't happen!

I’m in the plane now too - profiling all passengers to see who might be a SteemFest attendee - as if they are not from all kinds of ages and genders and will have diverse looks, lol.
Wishing you strength with the crying baby! I’m putting in my noise-cancelling headphones, 3... 2... 1...

I guess you'll catch this message later today. I hope your trip was without cryin children. See you this week😁
I'm looking forward to your Steemfest posts.
Safe travels and have fun! :)
Thank you @nikolina!
Have funnnnn!!!! 😉
Danke! I'm in Germany and that's my German for the day right there 😁
Shoooweee!!! Thats some high level stuff right there 😁
Enjoy.
I sometimes get pretty mad if my opponent is dodging all the time and my retaliation is not triggering...but yeah otherwise would be probably a bit to boring.
Yeah it's a shitter when it's your cards not doing what they are supposed to. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with how the random is worked in. Cheers!
I'll see you there tomorrow. Maybe you can explain Steem Monsters to me. I got some free cards this week and don't know what to do with them
I can do that no worries. Just gift them to me 😁
Steemmonsters.com, Steemconnect login. You may need a 'summoner' to start you off, but we can have a look this week. See you soon 😁👌🏽
1 WORD : JEALOUS !!🤨
💚 😁
Just imagine me using the android phone for the engagement league....just got more habitual to it.....hahah
Safe journey and enjoy the gala steem event.....👍

have a great tiiiiime! :) what, bots on steem monsters? news to me... explains why someone messed up the other day and i was just playing a level 5 peaceful giant... lol, thanks for the free points!!!
looks like you didn't bring too many clothes, i know @tarazkp was thinking he would borrow from you and @anomadsoul so it looks like you two may be out of luck in that clothes borrowing department LOL!
I've noticed the odd combatant playing just one or two cards that might explain it - bots that is!

Oh no, so many missed messages here! Sorry!
I think the 1 card trick is to lower your level for the daily challenge. Some people are really keen!
Put the polo disco on, it is cheesy as hell and will drive you insane lol.
There was a disco on channel 3 of the headphones we received. Totally bizarre and if I had listened to it for more than 3 seconds I would have probably gone insane :)
LOL told you it was cheesy, the young here either listen to that or angry hip-hop slating the police and swearing with every verse.
Though at least there are loads of radio stations playing classic tunes, or 80's, rock and blues, so not all bad bro.
Nice !!!

So you got the window seat ;-) Have a safe journey.
Well done
Keep us informed, this day seems to have taken forever to arrive. Its here and I am so glad for you
Keep us informed I am truly interested
Be safe
So sad I couldn't be there! I will be living vicariously through your posts so please do your best with the frustration of thumbing your way through them on the phone. I feel your pain. My phone is extrastupid so if I was in your position, there just wouldn't be anything from me til I got back to a computer.

Ahahaha, classic! :-)
Hope you could at least relaxe for a while.
I'll be traveling with hand luggage, too. It took me a couple of hours to align need of clothing with limited space. If we'll be given t-shirts as giveaways again, I'll be facing a serious problem on the return trip - lol.
Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@abh12345, That's really great to see brother and hope that you've enjoyed your Travel Time. And most importantly have fun and at the same time wishing you the productive time. And good to know that you are enjoying the Steemmonsters game.

Hmmm, not been here long but yet there it is again, another mention of @steemmonsters. I wonder if this is the key to get my hubby interested in steemit?
On another note, have fun at Steemfest, that is after all what drew me to your post. Hope the sun keeps shining for you. ☀️
