Yesterday I was surfing the net in preparation for my upcoming <a href=\"\/bb\/viewtopic.php?p=571#571\">trip to Paris<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple-expo.com\/\">Apple Expo<\/a>. Booking the extra legs to and from S\u00e3o Paulo was no problem. I&#8217;ll leave next Thursday (Sept. 11), stay in Amsterdam for two days, then on Sunday (Sept. 14) it&#8217;s off to Paris. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple-expo.com\/uk\/keynote\/\">Steve Job&#8217;s keynote<\/a> is on Sept. 16, then we&#8217;ll have time to see the first two days of the exhibition and conferences, and we fly back on Sept. 18.<\/p>\n<p>It took some searching but I even found a relatively inexpensive hotel not terribly far away from the Expo.

So I immediately took steps to register for that, too. And again I lucked into one of the last available hotels; somewhat out in the suburbs but next to a train station, and a little more expensive than planned but still bearable.
