It’s been a busy spell for travel. Immediately after getting back from Galiano (see the last post) I was on a plane to San Jose for a few days in our head office. While it was a pretty uneventful week, the weather in San Jose was amazing! After being back for a few days, I was heading back to Galiano solo to deal with a bunch of activities for the golf course while Justine had a girl’s weekend at home.

It was a busy, productive week!

I started off the year with a week-long trip to Las Vegas to attend CES! It had been about 10 years since the last time I had been to the show and I was excited for many reasons. I love checking out new tech and this is the place for that. From a work perspective we are launching a new product in late January and this was going to be a good chance to show off the new device to media and get some feedback. And poker - there’s always poker when in Vegas!
