On The Road Again

So I haven't been doing much traveling for a while. This is for 2 reasons. One is that, as a company, we've tried to reduce travel. On the other hand, I've really been focusing on trying to build relationships here in the UK.

However, all that's changing. Today in Hawaii at our Partner Summit, we're making some major product announcements, and Monday we start a big roadshow. The roadshow is a rolling seminar the will cover all of western Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, Middle East and Africa and Latin America. In the middle of all this, I'm going to the US for about 10 days in May (most of which will be in San Jose). Suffice it to say, I'll be on the road until about the second week of June.

One advantage to this tour is that I only have to present in the afternoons, so that keeps me from having to fly in the night before in most cases. I am tying some customer meetings to the trip so I may stay an extra day sometimes.

If you look at the Google Calendar I have pinned at the top of the blog, it's pretty much show you where I'll be. Diana is going to join me for a weekend or two in the process, and that's represented by the locations shown across the weekends. When you see us out for a weekend, look for a blog update soon afterwards.

Again, for those of you looking at the calendar thinking I'm gong to lots of cool places, remember that most of the places distinctly resemble airports, hotels and meeting room. Only the restaurants are different. Many of these places I'll spend a total of 6 hours in.
