Piggley's Adventure in Washington: Friday the 26th of June 2009

Hello boys and girls, I'm off on my travels again!

This time Microsoft have invited me out to Washington to take part in the NECC (The National Education and Computing Conference.)

I left Dublin with Ms. O' Connell at 12.30pm on Friday the 26th of June on Aer Lingus Flight EI119. We flew in an Airbus A330 called the St. Colmcille.


Here you can see me on the plane relaxing and listening to music.



Ms. O' Connell lent me her sunglasses so I could get some shut eye.



We arrived in Washington at 3.30pm (local time). Who knows what the time difference is between Ireland and Washington?

We are staying at the Sheraton Reston which is on 11810 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston. That's in the state of Virginia.
Here you can see me taking a well earned break after my long flight!





We met all of the other teachers that won at the Microsoft Innovative Teachers Forum in Hong Kong. They were all asking for you in Kilvemnon.

I went to bed early last night as we have an early start in the morning . We are visitng the local Microsoft offices at 8.30am on Saturday morning. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone there.



Stay tuned for more updates and don't forget to email me!!
Oink!
Piggley.
