I've always loved "Legos". Now that I'm an adult, my pieces just get bigger. I'm basically a technical geek and for the past year I've been working on a vision to expand our company into a new product space. To that end, I underwent some technical evaluation of a small company that resulted in their purchase (new legos). Now, we have to do some planning on how to use these new legos with our current legos to get to something we can sell as a nifty new product.
To that end, I was sent to Belgium for planning meetings. Belgium is a very beautiful land as it rains nearly every day there. The grass is really green and everything is just picturesque! The food is incredible as well. I flew into Brussels Airport and stayed at the Hilton in Antwerp (below are a few pics). I was able to take nearly all day and just walk around Antwerp. We had dinner in Brussels one evening where you simply said "Suprise me!" and they brought out an 4 course meal - each stage was a surprise and that was pretty fun. Along the same lines, much chocolate made it home - made sure to get some for Mom for her birthday as well as maintain a "secret stash". :)
Again, I did to a Skype with the family every day (from the hallway in the Hilton), which alleviated some of my home sickness.
