So this is my first journal entry ever..

First off it was my first and very awesome experience being in that convention. I had my first ever and really long flight from Estonia to America. I had to fly from Tallinn to Helsinki which took maybe 45 mins or so; from Helsinki to New York it took somewhere around 9 hours at least and it was the longest + tiresome flights then from New York to Pittsburgh. Of course I wasn't going alone because I had a really good werewolf friend of mine with me and we went together!
We got off from Pittsburgh airport and went on a taxi because we couldn't find our bus for some reason and drove to Courtyard hotel. After that we unpacked some stuff and started to rest because the whole trip getting there was so tiresome but really adventurous!
Next day we got up and went to pre-registration, got our con access badges and other goodies then we went out looking for places to visit and listen it. My attention was caught on Dealer's Den what I saw on the bridge what we crossed over inside the con building, it looked really huge and there were so many tables around, I was so hyped for it because my idea was simple: I want EVERYTHING!
I visited lots of food places meanwhile I was waiting with my dear werewolf friend when the Dealer's Den opened. One interesting food place was Pizza Parma but it was purely designed in furry and I LOVED IT, the pizzas were so good and customer service was friendly!
There were other pizza places too and I did get an medium sized pizza but I still ate it for like 2 days.
So the time went by quickly and the Dealer's Den opened finally. I saw so many interesting arts, items and so many more stuff what I wanted to get. I spent so much hours with my friend there that we couldn't even get to any panels at all.. :D
I got my first fursona badge with my fursona name on it and it made me so happy!
Got many other things like t-shirts, armbands, even a fox tail for the con, fox ears and many more that I could count these things on and on.
I did get to known few furries there and even made quite some friends also so I'm actually happy that it was my first and disappoint-free convention! Sadly I couldn't literally get to any of the panels, I did saw only the introduction panel but it was also almost at the end so that's a little bit sad thing but it's okay, next if AC 2023 comes, I'll put more time into panels and getting to these at the right time.
What actually felt really nice was that I went to furry parade with my dear werewolf friend and we both suited, did the big picture with all of the furries and had a really cool furwalk through the street. It was amazing to hear people so happy and taking pictures of us, it all felt so legendary and I wish to experience it again!
Before the last day I went to play board game with my werewolfie friends, the game lasted maybe somewhere 2-3 hours and it was really fun but it finally got so late that we all parted ways and went back to hotel.
We woke up at early morning and had to start to pack things up then leave from the hotel. I felt really sad that we had to go and I wished that we could've been there longer, see and do so many things what was still undone. We got on taxi and drove to the airport.
Our flight started from Pittsburgh and went to Chicago around 1 hour and 45 minutes. From Chicago we had to fly to Helsinki which took again almost 9 hours. After that we took a flight from Helsinki and back to Tallinn in 45 minutes. Got on taxi again and drove back our home.

This travel and vacation was truly amazing and REALLY fun that I want to come back asap. I'll be waiting for Anthrocon 2023 but in a meanwhile I'll try to join other conventions too and be part of this fluffy and cuddly community as much as possible.
And for the end of this journal I'll end it with even greater news: I will be getting my fursuit in few months and it has made possible thanks to so many artworks, people and Anthrocon convention itself, all the motivation and dedication comes from every possible direction!

Thanks to everyone and love you all!
