Last night, the Release Notes conference started with an opening reception, followed by a marshmallow "bonfire" on the beach. Then three interesting talks today, with plenty of time for chatting with others, and a group lunch and (soon) dinner.

Yesterday we spent most of the day lazing in a cabana on the beach, with periodic delivery of margaritas and lunch. Such a tough life.

We're now in Cancún for the Release Notes conference, with a vacation day on either side. Yesterday was the travel day, starting by waking up at 01:30 to head to the airport for about 7 hours of flights. But first/business is the way to go.
