And now, over to our correspondent in Boston...

So thats it, the meeting is over and my vacation starts... NOW! - Went to a Diamondbacks game last night against the Houston Astros - Saw Clemens give a Home Run away (Apparently thats a BAD thing, according to my guide, but this is only my 4th game), and as we came out of the game , we had a monsoon!! I had to drive back, as I was more used to this weather than my Californian host / driver who has never aquaplaned in a vehicle before!

And tomorrow, I fly to Boston to meet my wifey for our long-awaited honeymoon, after 4yrs marriage 22 yrs together, kids, mortgage, etc. I don't tend to do things 'linearly'... Should be good fun, despite the recent Air France crash that makes flying that bit more nerve-racking than it needs to be. Thank good training that all the passengers and crew got out alive.
