Northern Ireland - Tuesday, June 19

Today was a travel day.  We rolled out bags to the train station and took a train to Belfast.    All of us fell asleep even though there were about 20 elementary school children in our car making lots of noise.  Reminded me of home.  

We took a cab to our hotel, but it was too early to check in, so we found a deli and had a sandwich and then went to the world's largest Titanic Exhibition.   It just opened in April and was awesome.   Belfast is where the Titantic was built so it gave all the history leading up to the building of the ship and ended showing the ship at the bottom of the sea on an IMAX screen.   There was even a ride which gave you the feeling you were flying around the hull as they were putting the rivets in.     It took me 2 hours to see everything.   It was really a state-of-the-art museum.   A great experience.

Before we went into the Exhibit we met with the CEO of MailDistiller, Colm who we are going to work for while we are here.    He told us the Queen was coming to the Exhibit next Wed (while we are still here) and that he is invited to the reception.    He gave us some more info on the company and made sure we didn't have any questions.   

We walked back to the hotel and checked in.     Had dinner at the hotel and I had to be back in my room by 9 for a work conference call.   It went as good as it could have but we didn't get what we wanted so that was disappointing, especially since the team had worked so hard.   But now I don't have to think about work for another 2 weeks.

Tomorrow we start work at 9, so I need to get some rest.
