Sorry I couldn't make the Cork&Bottle, but had to do some work. It was great seeing everyone over the weekend.
Had a lovely birthday yesterday. Lots of drinkies with friends. Came back to the hotel to discover they had sent me a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, french chocolates, and an audiobook (I had mentioned I like listening to audiobooks to one of the managers, and he remembered).
Efrem, sorry to miss you at the RCC. I decided to switch my non-stop flight to connecting via SFO so I could get some extra sleep. I'll probably regret it on the back-end (ie, when I connect), but at the time it seemed like a good idea.
Will post pics of the weekend get-togethers this weekend. Cheers.

I wanted to apologize that my friend Scott & I didn't make the drinks or dinner on Saturday night. We got caught up on our own exploration of London unfortunately.
It was nice to meet the group on Friday night however!

At home and back to normal. Thanks Sharon for hosting the DO I hope everything went the way you planned. Also thanks to the rest of the group everyone was nice and had a great time at each event.
As I was going though ORD immigration I was told I could not travel on my passport anymore as it was too full and needed to get pages add to it. I sent it in today so I will be in the penalty box for international trips till I get it back.
Thanks again and see you at a future DO.

The best place to do that is at a consulate outside the U.S. I had mine done in Sydney in 45 minutes. Keep that in mind should your next passport get full.

If it seems I vanished, it is only because MsPColl and I were having too much fun ourselves. Just returned from a lovely 7-day stay; so much fun we have to do it again!
Anyway, quite sorry to have missed you all on SAT evening. Our travel was a bit longer than anticipated, and we simply slept right thru the meeting time!
Happy Travels -

I was too jet-lagged to remember to take many photos.

I had a great time and got back home to get immersed in work and school.... been staying away from FT as it's too addictive!
Anyhow, thanks to Sharon and all the various attendees for the very nice weekend. ^
