I will be at the Ohio Linux Fest tonight and tomorrow in Columbus, Ohio. On the off chance that there is someone else that might be attending I would love to get together and chat. Drop me an email at karl at theharrisclan dot net.

Bugger, I've just come back from Atlanta - it would have been closer for me ;)

You're right! Egads...
I used to live in Atlanta :)
It was a long day coming home. I left Atlanta on Thursday evening (after
a full day), to arrive in LAX (making the day longer), and then the
16hrs over to MEL, to arrive on Saturday morning. (And not much sleep on the way.)
Been to LAX once two years ago on my way to Seattle.... missed the connection after landing late from a flight from Auckland. It was busy, bustling, manic and I was tired from my flight etc. But to see the
iconic traffic control tower made my day :)

After clearing immigration and the hr or so drive home. I sat down for about an hour having lunch and a cuppa to then head off to my Son's 7th birthday party ice-scating for 3hrs. He (and my 5yr old daughter) had a ball.
I finally got to bed around 8:30 and was out for nearly 11hrs.
Before they enabled the "secure" walking between Terminal 4 and TBIT, I used to always be in awe of being on the bus that went near the A380 - only to see how big that machine is.
On the return trip, I started in Austin, TX, then a 5 hour stop in LAX. No buses, I only had to walk to the next terminal to catch my flight across the Pacific. Left at 9:30PM, then a 2-3 hour stop in Auckland 12 1/2 hours later, before the 4 hour leg to Melbourne in the early
morning. I think from memory it was something like 29 hours on the go.

Sounds long.... but it also sounds like it went smoothly - yay :)

Yes, it was a smooth trip, only delay was an jour or so in Auckland, hardly a blemish on an uneventful trip. :)

Seems a pain to have to go LAX to NZ then back to AUS
Still, any overseas travel is OK by me :)
