Well I finally made it to the wonderful United States of America and currently waiting at JFK for a flight to Las Vegas after a slight challenge with our tmes and subsequently ended up staying an extra night a Howard Johnson hotel just out of the JFK aiport.  I could spend a day writing and talking about how wonderful the US is and how much I love New York, but  this keyboard on my eepc is a bit of a challenge for anyone with fat finger typing syndrome.

I did want to meet up with Oliver Hine, but alas his car needed some work on it and unlike travelling as one person, when travelling with two, we can’t just jump into any car – we have luggage to cart around.  So Oliver – next time we’re in New York New York, well definitely catch up.

So we’re currently sitting at terminal 35, waiting for plane, and looking forward to our next stop in Las Vegas where we’ll be catching up with John Mitchell (from Snapsis) and his family, and hope to be there for part of the Open Force time, so if anyone wants to catch up, send a message to my mobile – which is +61410 517 652 and we can organise a time.

I’m not a gambler but my darling husband doesn’t mind a bit of casino time, so he thinks there’s a bit of good free time around for him to do what most people do in Las Vegas.  We have a couple of days booked already, and will be taking some time out to drive around the Grand Canyon and visit Moab, and do some mountain bike riding.

FOr those who might be thinking about visiting open force, then it would be great to know if you’ll be around a day or so before, and perhaps even if you’re close to Las Vegas or thinking that perhaps you’d like to make the trip to meet up with others  too, then it’s a good time to catch up because there aren’t many other locations where we can really all get together. (having said that – anyone coming to Australia really should let me know too, especially if you’re coming to melbourne)

I am quite pleased to be able to make this step of going away and having a great team back home to run the office. It’s really good to know that the work continues and our customers have the confidence dealing with Sidney & Paul.

So this short and sweet blog is simply to keep people updated on what I’m doing and if they are in Las Vegas for Open Force 09, and would like to catch up, send me an SMS and we’ll see how things go.

It’s also interesting to see that there is life outside dnn – which for so long has been the main focus of my work and I am catching up with a las vegas based software company as well in reference to some future interests I have in other things.

I am really looking forward to meeting with as many of my DNN colleagues as possible, as there are quite a few who have been in involved DNN as I have and although we know each other online, we have never met.
