Day #1 of the trip to Lisbon, Portugal for SteemFest² is today! I got an awesome selfie setup with my iPhone plus the equipment listed below which is available on Amazon that allows me to use a tripod to take a picture with a bluetooth remote!
- Joby GorillaPod Hybrid Flexible Mini-Tripod with Ball Head - Gray/Black
- Cell Phone Tripod Adapter - Bluetooth Remote Control - Travel Bag - iPhone Tripod Mount 8 7 X SE 6S 6 Plus 5S 5C 5 4s 4, Galaxy S8 S7 S6 S5 S4 Cell Phone Tripod Mount Clip Holder - DaVoice (Black)
This post and those that follow for the trip will be kind of a diary with my thoughts and pictures which I hope are entertaining! Here I am before I am heading out for the 4 hour drive from Saint Petersburg, Florida to Miami International Airport which I made because it was cheaper and allows more flexibility than flying from Tampa to Miami! On the way I drank 64 ounces or about 2 liters of blended fruits and vegetables. Half of that is in the cup I am holding!
Here is another selfie after arriving in the Flamingo parking garage at 2:20 pm after leaving at about 10:20 am. Smooth drive!
Here is everything I am taking from the two jackets to my backpack. The lady at checkin was impressed I just was taking a backpack :)
You know it is my car by the tacky signs on the side promoting my website which are laying overtop of those for the website I sold.
I was wrong for making this bumper appear so close in the rearview for the thousands of people I tailgated when I used to speed a lot. Today I slow down and aim for the speed limit or about 5 mph over.
Me with hoodie on offering hugs.
The full setup plus the backpack allows mostly hands free with just the red cup in my hand for refilling!
My attempt with the tripod and remote.
Getting better!
I asked if any upgrades were available but there were none which spared them my pitch for why I should get a free upgrade in exchange for doing a post about the trip.
I did this without thinking much.
Then the lady at the counter came to get me because she gave me the wrong change sat which point I decided to ask them to reverse the transaction in favor of selling Steem to Euros. Who wants to sell me a few Euors for Steem at the hackathon?
The terminal is packed here as I type this and I am grateful to have a seat but ready to walk around some also before the eight hour flight. I am planning to try fasting on the plane to see if it helps me fall asleep.
Here is to a safe flight and I will see you tomorrow with my first day of adventures in Lisbon as the rest of my day today will be spent on the overnight flight!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
PS: Thank you very much for making me a top 20 witness at https://steemd.com/witnesses.
Have a Great Time at SteemFest. Safe Travels.
Nice ... is time for a big push of Steemit, I pray that a think tank develops of truly helpul ideas and ventures
I'm so glad you went, Jerry! Please try your best to see if any of the bigwigs can come up with a way to help noobs succeed while you are all bonding. It's brutal down here and I lost the two I had that were trying. Both stopped posting during the recent tech nightmare and neither was too thrilled to begin with. I don't feel like either will return.
i like this picture... i think its best....
Excellent post dear @jerrybanfield. Today, I watched your video post about doings Google Display ads and it was explained very well. In one of my previous comments on your post, I asked you about Facebook Advertising Complete Course. Do you have it?
Keep up the inspiring work. Love all your posts.

Meanwhile, @jerrybanfield, I decided to make a contribution in my little way to SteemFest 2 through my Act of Creativity, but it got little publicity. I would appreciate you checking this out, and letting me know what you feel about it. Thank you as you do.

I am hoping for Steemfest to remember people what Steem is all about and raise more attention to it, and also hope that this reflect in the price making it go at least a 50% up this week :D hahaha
