Last spring when I was at the DevSummit conference in Stockholm, I scheduled an extra day to be a tourist in this incredible city. I walked everywhere. As I walked around, I kept seeing a tram go by that had a big coffee cup on the top of it. (Here's a photo I snagged from the official web site ) After...

I thought I would add my 2 cents about the new Aloft hotels since I just stayed in one. Aloft is like a mini-W hotel ...part of the Starwood chain and specifically a spin-off of W. I'm more of a Westin/Sheraton type of girl. I checked out Aloft since I just needed a quick overnight for getting an early...

I don't have time for a real blog post but this ( Bialowieski National Park ) is where I went today with Michal Chaniewski and Mirek Praglowski and our wonderful guide, Asia . The forest has been untouched for hundreds of years and therefore thrives in a very natural state. Even the Elms are safe from...

Today Michael Foord and his wife Delia came into London to do the tourist thing with me. We wandered over to Buckingham Palace and I took the requisite photo of one of the guards. I loved these fat pelicans (?) in the park near the palace. After lunch we headed over to the Tate Modern for a special treat...

At the Girl Geek Dinner on Thursday night I was surprised to see Peter DeBetta there! He is in London working on a contract and had been told about the GGD by our mutual friend, Rachel Hawley from Red Gate. I had plans to spend the day with Dave Sussman the next day (now yesterday) and Peter and Dave...

No, not *that* one (the oh-my-god-I-gotta-have-a-baby-before-it's-too-late, clock ...that stopped ticking years ago). My flight to Orlando for TechEd was a 6am flight. The concept of me getting up on time for that, much less even being awake at 6am makes my husband laugh his butt off. I got to bed last...

Hip hip hooray. My only trip so far in 2008 was on USAirways, so I hadn't realized this until just now as I'm stuck in Dulles for 3 hours because - oh shock! - my flight from Burlington was delayed and I missed my connection by minutes . As we landed, I saw my plane to Orlando sitting at the gate. I...

I am part of United's mileage plus program and thanks to the way-too-much travelling I do, am a premier member. (I would have to fly 50,000 a year to get to the next level and I cannot imagine travelling that much more!) I just received an email alerting me that United is going to start charging $25...

I change my mind daily about going to MIX . I WANT TO GO TO MIX. The registrations are dwindling and it will soon be sold out. But I don't want to deal with this: SOUTH BURLINGTON -- Today's ice storm has caused numerous delays and cancellations this afternoon at Burlington International Airport, airport...

I'm in Seattle and on my way home to Burlington. When I arrived at the airport, I saw that my flight was delayed but it didn't indicate for how long. Shock of shocks ... there is snow in Chicago, so my flight through Chicago was potentially delayed. If it was delayed more than 1/2 hour, I would likely...
