MXDU 2004: DAY -1

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21 2004 @ 01:58 AM

Time is up. Tomorrow at noon I will be on my way to the JFK airport, after finishing packing and doing some last minute shopping. That's how the trip down under begins. We will be doing a stop in San Francisco, and then 16 hours to Sydney, arriving on Monday at 7:15 am (local time, Sunday 4:15 pm EST). Last time I checked, the flight is packet, so I might find some other MXDU speakers/attendees at SFO.

I plan to spend that first day getting to know the city. I really like to walk, so after I get everything set at the hotel, I'll hit Sydney streets, walk around and take some pictures. That same afternoon, there's a meeting with the local CFUG, which will take place at Star City, MXDU's venue. That's Day Zero.

On Tuesday MXDU starts. I will be attending several sessions, mostly ColdFusion-related since I've decided to really get into it. The session I'm presenting is the last one in my track that day. Then on Wednesday... well, I'll be posting more information as things happens.

I'm preparing a public photo album, when I'll be posting some pictures from the conference, and maybe getting some other people to post theirs as well. We'll see how that goes.

I'll look for you! I plan on posting some pictures as well, but I didn't have time before hand to make a photo gallery for it all. I'll just post a few here and there as entires.

My flight leaves out of Philly, and I'll get to Sydney about an hour or 2 after you.

16 hours? Phew! Long flight. Hope it is safe and comfortable.

A mate has offered his new digital camera to me so I'll be taking photos too!

See you there on Monday evening (I fly out of Canberra at 5pm - arrive Sydney about 5.45pm and should be at Star City by 6.30pm traffic permitting).

I'm just finishing unpacking and setting up the accomodations (there's no Internet connection in the rrom, but I manage to hook my laptop to a wireless access point around here... hehe).

Expect updates as soon as tonight! I'll be posting some pictures and opening the albums for others to post their stuff :)
