This is a travel vlog documenting my journey from the UK to Austin, Texas, for the Tableau Conference 2016. I cover the early start, a rough flight, a couple of near-misses with my luggage, and a customs search before arriving late at night.

## Key takeaways

- Book your flights well in advance, ideally up to a year ahead, to avoid nasty connections and late-booking compromises
- Vlogging a journey through airports is more tedious than it looks, and filming on a tripod tends to raise security suspicions
