You get what you pay for...

... and I - at this point - have paid for nothing. But I still managed to turn the available ingredients into a sausage-and-bacon on white with ketchup, the cornerstone of any healthy breakfast.
Healthy that is, compared to the waffles with added carb topped with scarily bright yellow scrambled egg and maple syrup (etc) that make up an american start to the day.

But the rest of the summit and its tasty tortilla lunch went well, being cost effective in my books at the very least.

The summit, of course, it my reason for making this one-day round trip to Denver. Being Dish Networks 5th annual iTV summit no less. And enough to state my main reason to enter the country is buisiness, and explain slowly that 'interactive' and 'tractor' are not the same word - eventually giving up and using "Satillite Tee Vee" In hindsight I should have switched straight to "I work for the cable company"
Always say "pleasure" when she asks.

However, the pay-naught-get-it-all part to this trip is about to come to an end.

On top of the accent, you speak too quickly for Americans. It's probably a measure of something I don't want to measure that even *I* had trouble on a couple of occasions, but could at least usually glark it from context, since there *was* context. There ain't a lot of context in a customs "interview".
