First there was my short sleep. Then there was the sinus headache on the flight. After that, there was the rental car extravaganza. I got lost in Brussels, but not for long. I found what I thought was my hotel (the one I asked for, as it happens). Nope - travel had booked me into a hole in the wall down the way (including the excitement of exposed wires!). Screw that, back to the Royal Windsor. Took a bit to get the room I wanted (my wife and daughter are coming in 2 days) - but they were very nice about it, and helpful with directions as well.

Then... Off to VUB, where the conference is. Got to the University without an issue, but the website instructions were not that great - walking between E and F didn't cut it. Fortunately, I found an information desk (nearly everyone I spoke to is fluent in Englisg, btw - sparing them from having my lame French inflicted on them). Finally, I'm here, taking notes... but no internet! I see an ESUG WiFi, but I can't attach...
