One of the very cool things about working with DevelopMentor is that I've gotten a lot of airline miles built up. So far this year I've been too:
- New York twice
- Denver
- Atlanta
- Las Angeles three times, one for PDC
- Orlando for TechEd
- Dallas twice, once for PASS and the MVP Summit
But tomorrow is by far my longest trip. I'm off to Shanghai to teach Essential SQL Server 2005 at the Microsoft Offices for five days. While I'm dreading the flight (its at least twenty-hours from Omaha to Shanghai going via Detriot and Toyko), I'm looking forward to being someplace I've never been before. I probably won't be blog much technical for the next few days, but I will be posting my trip notes and photos on this blog. Specifically:

When I get back, I have a few days to adjust then I'm off to Boston to teach this class again (love to see you in it, details at http://www.develop.com/training/course.aspx?id=180), then a brief rest and I'm back to LA to do it again. on November 28, Niels and I will be team up to deliver DevelopMentor's famous Guerrilla SQL Server 2005 in London (http://www.develop.com/training/course.aspx?id=231) and I must say that I'm eager for that. Finally: If you're in the Redmond area, we'll be rolling into the Microsoft Conference Center the week of 12/12 as well (http://www.develop.com/training/course.aspx?id=245)
Note to my fellow Microsoft MVPs: Don't forget that DevelopMentor wants you share in the fun (http://www.develop.com/press/MVPProgram.pdf)! Please let me know if you are interested in taking advantage of this offer for our Boston or LA Essential SQL Server 2005 offerings.
