Not getting off to a good start here....

• Boarding pass got screwed up, and I can't change anything except when I get to the ticket counter, something I was hoping to avoid.
• Forgot to get a rental car....got one now, at a rather high rate.
• Found out the game is Wednesday night, not Tuesday night, which means I can't fly home early as hoped.
• And the airport that I'm supposed to stay at tonight does NOT offer park n fly, which means I have to park way the #$&@^ away and WALK to the hotel in order to sleep there so I can catch my 07:00 flight tomorrow.

At least my portion of the presentation is done!

Looks like "The Big Trip" in April will now include Australia and possibly a few other countries. Cathay Pacific has a "All Asia Pass" which can include a variety of cities and for extra $$$, can include Australia for a modest cost.

So, I'm starting to piece together "what we're going to do" when in Southeast Asia. It looks like Hong Kong (required) and Sydney, but I'm also looking at Taipei, Tokyo, and possibly Bali. Here's the list of cities....

Please feel free to comment if you have been to any of these cities and what is worth seeing/avoiding.

Interesting e-mail from Vonage this morning...

As a convenience to you and to reduce unnecessary emails, starting next month we will no longer send you monthly billing notification emails.

If you wish to continue receiving your monthly billing notification emails, simply contact Vonage Customer Care and ask to have this option turned back on.

Of course, they want you to CALL Vonage, not "click here to keep getting these e-mails", not "click here to access your account". Just call us to keep getting reminders that we're taking your money.

Thank god for Local Number Portability.

Ugh....Comcast is having problems in my area. Tech out today, tightened up a few things, everything cleared for about two hours. Now it's getting about 20% packet loss, which is "bad".

If you need to get a hold of me, e-mail is esentially out of the picture, so you will need to pick up the phone and get all pioneer like if you need to talk to us. :-(

Derek tied the knot this weekend....

Oops...that's not Derek, but a very special guest who showed up unannounced. :-)

Here's a pic of the dorkboy™ and his new bride and the moment of bliss (actually...I think it was the point where the pastor had to mention "Naughty Bits", but I could be wrong.

Congrats to Derek and Debbie!!!!
