<p>But, I did find time to snap a few pictures.</p></div></description><category>photo</category><category>travel</category><category>work</category><guid>http://www.duckland.org/posts/vegas-again.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Jun 2015 15:06:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>More travel</title><link>http://www.duckland.org/posts/201406more-travel.html</link><dc:creator>Don Harper</dc:creator><description><p><img alt="View in front of The Venetian" src="http://img.duckland.org/2014-06/20140607094949.JPG">

I am back from Las Vegas for a trade show for work. The hardest part was two and a half days of setting up an isolated network for some hands on training.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The training went very well, and I got some good feedback from the students. By the last session, all the kinks were worked out of the training, and the students were able to explore a bit more than planned, but that was okay.</p>

<p>The major downside is that I did not have much time but one day for a quick walk around where I was staying at The Venetian to take some photos. It is a shame, as there are lots of really cool visuals around the strip and in the area of Las Vegas. Maybe next time.</p>

So, in 2013, I went to China twice, Tokyo, Las Vegas, London twice, and Barcelona. This was enough to get me some serious air miles. I decided to turn them into something to help me get back into photography, so I got <a href="http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/omd/e-m5.html" title="Olympus E-M5">Olympus OM-D E-M5</a>. This is one of the latest in the line of Olympus DSLR. This one is a micros 4/3, with a built-in Electronic View Finder (EVF).</p>

<p>It showed up yesterday, and I have not had much of a chance to take it through its paces. I hope to have some time this weekend, but I have a major work project which might interfere.</p>

<p>Keep an eye out for some photos as I get a chance to try it out.</p></description><category>photo</category><category>travel</category><guid>http://www.duckland.org/posts/201406rewards-for-hard-travel.html</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2014 09:06:15 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>On the Road Again</title><link>http://www.duckland.org/posts/201405on-the-road-again.html</link><dc:creator>Don Harper</dc:creator><description><p><img alt="On The Road Again" src="http://img.duckland.org/2014-05/StartMexico.jpg">

The reason I was busy at work is that I was getting ready for two different trips to conduct three different training courses.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Last week I was down in Mexico City to present some training to folks from Latin and Central America on one of our new products. Next month, I head off to Lost Wages, er, Las Vegas, for our major conference and two different training courses, while supporting a third.</p>

<p>That, and the fact the two oldest kids are in swim team right now, free time has drop to null.</p></description><category>photo</category><category>travel</category><guid>http://www.duckland.org/posts/201405on-the-road-again.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2014 17:05:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>My Travel Map</title><link>http://www.duckland.org/posts/201402travels.html</link><dc:creator>Don Harper</dc:creator><description><p>Found this site, and since I had someone ask, I thought I would share.</p>
