Back from Hawaii

Well, I'm back from Hawaii. I've added some new pictures to the gallery and I've recovered from the jet lag. It was a great trip, and I met some really cool people. I'm glad I got the opportunity to go over to the island and see the other FireTide office, along with all of the people who work there. I learned from my Dad that there is no substitute for face to face meetings in business. You really can't recreate the connection that you form with people by getting on a plane and going to where they live to meet with them. I confirmed that for myself last week. So, now I'm back in California, and slowly plowing through all the email I let pile up while I was gone. I've got the satisfaction of coming back from a very productive trip, and now I need to go through my notes, incorporate all of the suggestions and decisions from the many meetings, and get material back to everyone for review. To the folks in Honolulu, thanks for your hospitality, and I'm looking forward to my next trip.
