As promised, here's Day 1 of the Mobius 2002 journal. I have Day 2 almost ready to go, so I'll post it on Saturday, and try to get to the CeBit photos on Monday. Sound good? Good. Here's an enticing quote:

"The Journey getting to Germany was a long one – I’ve never traveled overseas before, so the eight hours on the plane was an interesting learning experience to say the least. Did I mention I can’t sleep on planes? Thank goodness they had two movies playing and I had two batteries in my laptop.

I spent a week in Russia a few years ago, and the 12 hour flight plus a thirteen hour get lag comming back (the hard one) because of daylight savings time wasn't something I'd like to have to do on a regular basis. But you get used to it I'm told..
