Blogging Roller: Made it to Dublin

Made it to Dublin

I made it to Dublin for ApacheCon EU but without my baggage thanks to weather-related delays. Missing luggage wouldn't have been much of a problem if I had dressed sensibly, but I chose to wear my traditional uniform of shorts and a t-shirt. Turns out, it's cold an rainy in Dublin. So now I'm dead-tired since I haven't slept in 24-hours, cold, wet and in search of a tooth brush and a comb so I can make myself presentable before my talk tomorrow morn. Hopefully the rest of the week and vacation next week will be better.

Also, as you can see in the sidebar of my, I've started to post some ApacheCon related photos to my Flickr account.

Ah, another unlucky traveller. I got to Dublin about 6 hours later than planned and also without luggage. At least the people at the Mespil hotel were very helpful and helped me get a hold of the airport and arrange delivery the evening after I arrived.

Missing luggage in Dublin about 10 years ago, arriving in tee shirt and shorts, in cold and rainy weather, is the reason I always assume I will be separated from my luggage for 24 hours or so. The airlines don't let me forget this, about 10% of the time I travel. (Often the cause is connecting flights I just barely make, but my luggage doesn't)
