I'm sitting in a departure gate in Sydney International Airport. I'm on my way to the US for two weeks. First up I'll be going to San Diego (where it is warm) to attend Interact 2008.
Then I'll be heading to Seattle (where it is not so warm) to catch up with a couple of thousand more geeks at the MVP Summit.
Should be a great time, but as with all trips from this part of the world to - well pretty much anywhere - it starts with a long flight... In about 24 hours I should be touching down in San Diego - albeit a bit jaded.
