twilightpony | Pre-Conference Preparations, Check!

My saddle bags are all packed for the Biome Management Conference. I'll stop by Fluttershy's cottage to pick her up and we'll trot down together to the Ponyville train station where we'll meet up with Amethyst Star. We'll be taking the early train to the Crystal Empire and we should arrive in time to register before the first presentations start. Spike is on pet-sitting duty.

The conference is being held in several of the state rooms and halls in the castle. Most of the conference guests will be housed in the complex built to accommodate the athletes for the Equestria Games, but Princess Cadence has found three rooms for us, so we'll be staying in the Castle.

I'm bringing a bag of Zecora's delicious and spicy chocolate peppermint tea to give to Cadence and Shining, and of course we're going to speculate about Starswirl the Bearded's Canterlot High world!

It's two full days so we've decided to stay two nights. I should be back to my own bed three nights from now, unless I, or we, get called back early for an emergency.

Time for a little light reading! I can't take all my books with me to the Crystal Empire. Well maybe if I cram them into my saddle bags just right I could, but then I might not be able to lift my bags.
