As I (briefly) mentioned, a colleague and I attended the yearly Microsoft conference "TechEd North America".
So, besides the city of Santa Barbara and downtown New York, I also went to Orlando, Florida, for a week. That's the 3rd major USA place I've been to within 2 months...
Indeed, L.A.X. and the Atlanta Airport don't count
I guess Florida is great if you're going on a vacation... It' really hot and humid. The scenery is pretty much what you would expect for this climate, but exotic tropical plants are really confortable there.
This is the Orange County Convention Center - where the conference was hosted. A pretty impressive building...
Interesting conference buses...
Here's a nice looking pick-up parked outside a small shopping center...
One night we went to the Universal Studios amusement park... Wish we could have went to Sea World too, but hey - it was better than nothing, right?
In the airport I found a Harley Davidson gift shop. Looks like they have a legendary bike factory in Orlando - that's another miss...
And a couple of shots from the plane, on the way home (somewhere over Germany)...
[Note] this got archived as an entry for June 2008, to keep the chronology of events... because I didn't have the time to post it at the right time (back in 2008)...
