TechEd Developers Barcelona - Nov 3

I took a shuttle at 4:30 PM from Redmond to Sea-Tac Airport to catch a 7:30 PM PST British Airways flight to Barcelona via London Heathrow airport.  It was really nice to share the heavy traffic shuttle ride with Matt Winkler (WF technical evangelist) and Kristen (who is speaking on Visual Studio tooling for Office Applications) .  After almost 9 Hour long flight from Seattle to London, 3 hour layover in London shuttling around from terminal to terminal and finally reaching Barcelona around 6:00 pm local time.  There were many Microsoft folks travelling on this flight.  Some of us took a wrong baggage claim exit (Baggage A) and had to go back through into the terminal departures to finally join the rest of the crowd in Baggage B.   After all that I finally checked into the speaker hotel, Hilton Diagonal Mar, two hours later, which was followed by an immediate reaction to call it a night.   Sunday is the only "free" day I have in Barcelona, so I intend to spend it sight-seeing.  There are many good sessions at this conference and I am looking forward to attending them.
