This trip to Europe is coming to an end. I’m in the Brussels airport
\nwaiting for a flight to London Heathrow airport. I’ll spend the night there
\nand continue the trip home tomorrow (Saturday). It’s been an interesting
\ntrip. The first stop was in Sofia, Bulgaria for two days. I’ve got a lot of
\npictures to sort through and some will get posted on the web page. Then I
\nwas in a hotel in the southern outskirts of Gent for the next seven nights.
\nWhile there I commuted to our office in Oudenaarde, Belgium about 25
\nminutes away. I would not choose to stay at the Gent Holiday Inn Expo
\nagain. There’s nothing around so taking a walk is not interesting. I spent
\none night in a very small hotel in Oudenaarde. It was downtown in an
\ninteresting area (see the Pictures! page), but I also wouldn’t stay there
\nagain, either. The room was Very Small and Spartan. Somewhere there must be
\na good hotel downtown with reasonable Internet access!<\/p>\n
\nThe past two nights have been at a hotel near Antwerp for a company
\noff-site meeting. The hotel is in an old castle with very nicely appointed
\nrooms and accomodations. We were never able to get Internet working at the
\nhotel. So other than this Blackberry, I’ve been out of the loop
\nelectronically. I’m looking forward to getting to London and to a wired
\nhotel!<\/p>\n
\nThis Blackberry device is a very good invention, particularly here in
\nEurope. E-mail and phone access is pretty much available anywhere in
\nwestern Europe. It’s very nice to be able to call Nina directly and have
\nher able to call me at any time she wants without having to know where I
\nam. Coverage and availability will get better in the US over time, as well.
\nI like being connected.<\/p>\n
\nNext stop is security and then the long walk to the gate. Soon I’ll be in
\nLondon!<\/p>\n
