Brad and lowjhg,
Thanks for organizing another excellent SIN DO^
Was great connecting once again with the regulars (you all are so AWESOME) and meeting new folks. I hate that I had to leave and not attend POST DO because of all the work waiting for me back in beautiful Ohio (it was 10 degrees F when I arrived).
I got a little preview of SIN DO 2014 and cannot wait
Its going to be good!!
In the meantime, hopefully will see some of you in a few months at OZ Fest.

Thanks to Bschaff1 to putting together another SIN Do, it was great to catch up with a bunch of semi regulars and newbies as well. 
I thought I should add some photos, these would have gone up earlier but I have been off work sick for the past 3 days, I hope everyone else arrived home safely and well.

Thanks for organizing a non seafood table, and thanks to GVDIAD for handling the ordering for our table.
Drinking time at the Grand Hyatt afterwards.
Who needs photos posted of people drinking.
but I did take a few.
Did anyone get up for Sunday for a walk, I had trouble getting out of bed for breakfast at 9:30am, it was good to catch up with infoworks and opushomes plus a few other for breakfast at the Hilton.

I didn't stay for dinner as I had a late evening flight to catch. My upgrade came through and as soon as the seat belt sign came off I laid the seat flat and went to sleep for a few hours, the weekend wore me out.
Roll on Sin Do 2014.
Yeah, what they said. @:-)

Sitting at Changi and waiting for my flight back to Frankfurt.
Tanks to bschaff1 and lowjhg for organizing the SIN-Do and Saigon Post-Do. It was really great.
Special thanks to skye1 for crawling through the Vietcong tunnels at Cu Chi. You get a beer in London from me for that.

Nice photos Bundy Bear. Yes, we did do the hike, and I am sure some of you will be surprised to hear that the Olsen twin sneakers survived.

Bschaff1, thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness in organizing this!
Everyone, thanks for welcoming a Do newbie like me; 'twas a pleasure meeting y'all
I've finally posted several albums of my pics. Hope you enjoy looking through them.
Also, I do have to give a thumbs up to mixing it up re: accommodations. I loved staying in the Grand Hyatt Singapore; very convenient for the Do and I was treated really well by the staff there, despite being the only one of y'all not at Club level
. But I equally loved staying with a local (via Airbnb) -- a fellow tech geek -- in Ho Chi Minh city. She took me to visit her startup, showed me some cool local places... and it was neat to experience how a local lives, despite the lack of the undoubtedly nicer comforts of a 5 star hotel.
Anyway, thanks again for my first Do and Post-Do experiences! :-)
