I had to go to a work conference last week.  I didn't know anyone there, and I really don't like to travel without my family.  It was hard.
That does sound tough, did it go well at least?
It went fine.  Work conferences are always pretty boring, but I survived.  Going on vacation with the family next month so I have that to look forward to.
That's good, at least you have something fun to look forward to now.
