Headin’ Down to The Big Guava

Another weekend, another business trip. This time, the destination is Tampa, Florida (a.k.a. “The Big Guava”) for BarCamp Tampa Bay! A flight at 9:00 this morning will put me in Tampa a little bit before noon, and the rest of the day is customer meetings, a phone conference, technical documentation and maybe a little looking around. It’s Florida, so seafood is also on the agenda.

The weather promises to be…interesting. Needless to say, it’s a light-clothing trip.

More later – I’ve got to get some shut-eye. In honour of this trip, one of my favourite songs about tropical vacation spots: Hawaii by the Young Canadians, quite possibly the first Canadian punk band to perform at Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco’s legendary combination Filipino restaurant and punk rock venue. Be warned: it’s old school punk, with f-words galore. But it’s great!)
