My First Business Trip
I got up today (Sunday) at 8 in order to get ready to go on my first ever business trip – I’m going to Orlando, Florida to attend Gartner’s BPM Summit.
Gartner invited Intalio as a VIP in exchange for us sponsoring their Magic Quadrant. Ismael and Jacques-Alexandre suggested that I go this year, so Rosa got me a plane ticket and booked me a hotel.
I arrived at 10 at the San Jose airport, South of Palo Alto. It’s small airport, like Love Field in Dallas.
First stop was at Houston, a horrible place where souvenir shops were full of Cow heads and cowboy t-shirts, and Fox “News” was the only place to buy a newspaper. As you would imagine, the TVs in there had red alerts with terrorist threats all over the place.
