Our First Day at the Democratic National Convention

Well like Jamie mentioned we made it and completed our first day...not all went as smoothly as we thought. As you may know media is a very competitive field and nothing ever goes as planned...let me emphasize NEVER. Today began for myself and Jamie at 4 am when we prepared to catch our flight to begin our journey to Denver. Everything went well travel wise...our flight was on time, all of our baggage got off of the plane, and then we picked up our rental car. So we were all set! We had to go pick up our credentials which was very exciting, especially when we arrived to the right place at the right time, after getting lost about three times!
Now the time to go to the Pepsi Center was here and we were ready to do our thing so to speak, which we thought would take.... lets see about one hour or so to get to....well all in all with getting lost, trying to find parking and getting on the shuttle at the wrong time when all of the media are on it...our trip to the Pepsi Center took about 3hrs. Our reporting skills were for sure put to the test today as our deadline came sooner then we could imagine. All in all we were under pressure but got the job done!

Today has been crazy, amazing, exhausting, frustrating, but definitely one of the best hands on experience I have received as a reporter. I can't wait to see what the rest of this week brings. This week will truly be a life changing experience that I can't wait for.

Stay tuned as Jamie and I will continue to bring you first hand coverage of the Democratic National Convention through video, pictures and our personal blogs!
