Vegas, Boston, Amsterdam, Stuttgart, West Palm Beach and Connecticut

I have a hectic travel schedule in both April and May. The good news is it consists of trips for both pleasure and business, so hopefully I won't get too tired of planes. Tomorrow, Julie and I are heading to good ol' Las Vegas. A good friend of mine got us a free room at the Bellagio. Most of my trips to Vegas in the past few years have been for TSSS or bachelor parties, so it should be a lot of fun to enjoy it with my wife. Knowing us, we'll only be in our free room for a couple hours.

On Sunday, I'm heading out to Boston for a week on site at my client's. They wanted me to come out this week, but I convinced them that coming out for the Red Sox home opener was a better idea. I don't have tickets to the game Tuesday, but a good friend has tickets for Thursday and I'll probably go to Saturday's game too. If you have extra tickets to Tuesday's game, let's talk. ;-) I'd like to organize a tech meetup while I'm out there, but I probably won't have time. I'll be working long hours Monday - Wednesday in hopes of taking Friday off.

After Boston, I'm home for two weeks, then it's off to ApacheCon Europe. I'm leaving Saturday the 28th, staying in Amsterdam until two hours after my talk on Friday and then heading to Stuttgart for the weekend. I fly back from Europe and head down to Florida for a week's vacation with Julie and the kids. Then I'm off to Connecticut for a week to teach a training class on Spring, Hibernate, Maven, Ajax and all the other fun stuff that developers like to learn.

Phew, it's going to be quite the ride over the next month and a half. I'll try to take a camera and post pictures from all my adventures.

Take your wife to see "O" - it's a great show. Have fun at the BOsox, and be safe while on the other side of the pond.

Stuttgart is the home of Mercedes, they have a museum there. VW is located in Wolfsburg, in the north of Germany.

Welcome back to the blogosphere ;) For the record, I wasn't "offended" by your use of the Kathy Sierra incident, I just got suckered in to the joke and used that to justify why I thought I wasn't a fool ;) I'm glad you didn't leave us.

what are you up to in Stuttgart? Is there anything interesting going on in good ol' stuggi town?

Stefan - I believe we're actually going to Wangen rather than staying in Stuttgart. We have a cousin there - Roland Raible. Believe it or not, he found us in Montana way back in the early 80s when he was driving across the country. He saw his name on our mailbox and drove up our rode until he found us. He and my dad have stayed in touch ever since. Come to think of it - he was driving a VW Bus when he drove up! If there's a VW museum in Stuttgart, I might have to do a bit of finagling and get the ol' guys to take me there.

I have lots of German and Dutch in my blood - so I'm definitely looking forward to this trip!

I guess that means you won't be at JavaOne this year.

Posted by Richard Williams on April 04, 2007 at 03:38 PM MDT #

Nope - no JavaOne for me. I will be at OSCON in Portland. I submitted a number of talks - Spring and AppFuse got turned down but Comparing Web Frameworks got accepted.

What about your big trip to Dallas, Texas in June? ;)

Posted by Erik Weibust on April 04, 2007 at 10:25 PM MDT #

Let us know if you have time for the Boston meetup...if so, I'll try to make it. BTW we got 1/2 inch of snow yesterday; hopefully the weather will be a little nicer for watching the Sox next week. :)
