Thanks to a mix-up with the flights (which was all my own fault) I won’t be travelling over to Denmark for the Miracle DBF until early tomorrow morning. Which is a shame, because I think some photos of more than a dozen Oracle geeks on Mogens and Anette’s floor would have been interesting 😉 I feel like I’m missing out and will need to start blogging as soon as I get there.<\/p>\n

After a family meeting it’s been decided that Derek Junior will be attending DBF, based on the following crucial factors<\/p>\n

1) He’s a baby turtle, so he’ll love a waterpark.<\/p>\n

2) He’s an orphan and everyone decided he needed a once-in-a-lifetime trip to help his slow recovery from the trauma.<\/p>\n

3) He’s very small and will fit into my small trolley case nicely.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
