This year the decision was made to break the tour into two parts: Northern and Southern.
My schedule permitted me to take off less time than would have been required to do one of the two tours so I elected to build my own tour which allowed
me to visit four countries for a total of 12 presentations by combining three "Northern" user groups: Panama, Costa Rica, and Ecuador,
and one "Southern" user group: Peru.
Several additional benefits accrued by doing this: The first the ability to return to Pescados Capital for Cebiche and Cusquena Negra.
The second the chance to work for a week at Refundation Consulting in Quito Ecuador. And the third ... three days in the Galapagos Islands. |
