Off to Boston...

Well, actually, Boxborough. But, if I said that nobody would know what I meant.

Fly out at 7:30am (UGH) Monday morning, teach four days for a Cisco group there, then fly home at 6:40am (double-UGH, I am NOT a morning person) on Saturday.

Hope Boxborough has internet access.

So do you ever actually get to SEE the places you travel to, or do you just work until you're really tired and then hole up in a hotel room? Boston sounds cool (though I've never been there, and though you're obviously not in Boston itself). But I hear they have a great aquarium. I'd love to see that some time.

Mostly, I don't get to see the places. I'm working full time while I'm there. But, if I have friends somewhere, I'll usually try to see them, and I will be getting together with a friend from Boston while I'm down there.

Some places I've gone, I've had more of a chance to "see" the place... I know I visitted a few Casinos while I was in Las Vegas, my hotel was on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, and that was nice -- I also drove around that area. In Florida, I was right on the coast, got to play in the surf, and I almost got to see a shuttle launch -- my hotel balcony was facing the right way, but it was supposed to launch the day before I left, and got delayed. I got to see a few of the nice lakes and some of Minnesota when I got sent to Pequot Lakes.

But, other times, like when I was in Germany, it was arrive, teach, leave, without doing much. (Last week in San Jose was the same, well I got to see the QNX offices there, ooh-ah.)

In many cases, it really depends on how tired I am, and the teaching can be quite tiring.
