This morning, at the awful hour of 3:30 I arose to make my trip to Minnesota. Normally, a software engineers job is behind a computer. But occasionally it's not your computer you're behind and that sometimes requires travel. In this instance to Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a quick stop in Denver to ask directions (and switch places but thats beside the point). The reason I'm here is a new customer has asked for one of the developers of the product I work on to be on-site to help install and configure. My boss asked and I said sure, why not?

I've travelled for business a couple times before, once to Maryland and once to San Diego, but it happens so infrequently I never get used to it (and hope I never do). But here I am, sitting in my hotel room, wondering what the next few days will hold for me. With almost four days in a strange city and some time to kill could get a guy into a bit of trouble (but probably with a few good stories to tell later). Anyway, what is there to do in Minneapolis?

So far I've visited the Mall of America. Well the first floor anyway. I was too tired to explore the other 3 floors after spending all day travelling so I'll go explore tomorrow, which could be dangerous because I've found a few really cool shops and got some really neat souvenirs for a couple of close friends.
