TIP - Day 4

It was a nice, sunny afternoon and since there were no evening activities associated with the TIP meeting, I walked back to the hotel from the university campus. It felt really warm so it was nice coming to what Google labeled as the Ala Wai Small Canal running just inland of the Waikiki tourist area. There was a nice breeze blowing and after miles of walking along side crowded streets, it was a pleasant change. Today was the end of the formal presentations for the Internet2 section of the meeting.
Tomorrow, I will be participating in an IPv6 workshop presented by Nysernet. I had taught the old format workshops for I2 many times and wanted to see what the new material was as well as the major changes they made to the hands on labs. Maybe I'll be able to teach this new workshop in the future. This will be a short post and it was really great to see everyone again. I picked up some completely new material and have a lot of new things to try when I return. They announced what the future technical meetings would look like and it will be a significant change from the existing format. I will reserve judgement on whether it is a good idea to change things....

    I'm just getting caught up on what you've been up to. It sounded like yesterday was a really long day. I suspect this day was most welcome.

      Having a short day today was really welcome. Only a couple of more days before heading home....

    I imagine the quiet walk was just perfect.

      There was a couple of outrigger boats paddling up and down the canal and the shade from the tall buildings was welcome.

    That canal is pretty. Nice to have some quiet time to contemplate and enjoy your surroundings

      The canal was nice to walk along. The last time I was here, I took a different walking route to the campus and didn't know that it was even here.

    Richard:

    we had friends who used to live along that Alawai Canal. We visited and I remember only walking a few blocks to the main beach area. It was a long time ago and that was our first visit to Hawai'i. You are there during the best time of the year, not too hot

      That would be a pretty nice place though it's pretty crowded. I met someone local for dinner last night and they picked me up at the hotel. It was there first time in the Waikiki area in over a year.

      Today, it's not to hot or too humid. Pretty nice.
