What happened to Monday?

I left Newark Airport Sunday afternoon heading west for Los Angeles. After a prolonged stop at LAX (thanks to traffic delays on the aircraft from JFK), we finally managed to take off for Sydney, Australia. We finally arrived late Tuesday morning and it felt very good to get off of the airplane. I guess that I had about 3 hours of early Monday morning at LAX but it was really lost for all practical purposes. After 40+ hours of travelling, I finally got to my hotel late last night.

Yes, the bridge in the picture is the one that you can climb over the top. According to Mauricio, the view is fantastic - especially at night.

I'm here to meet with some customers and have been given a terrific Australian welcome. For the Sun folks, that means scheduling every possible minute of the day but I'm happy that there's so many interesting people to meet with. There's a lot of interesting discussions about content and leveraging the power of the network. Compelling content and community continue to drive usage. I've had some interesting discussions but unfortunately not a lot of time to see the sights. I only had about 12 hours in Sydney and the bridge was about the most interesting picture that I could find.

We've got a couple of full days in Melbourne, hopefully I can get out to see the bike race on Friday. This is a very cycling friendly city and the weather is terrific. I'll have to find more time to explore on my next visit.
