The training with Symphic was a good experience.  The SSIS course was excellent and based on the Project REAL implementation.  It was an end to end trip through an SSIS Project designed to buld and maintain a data warehouse / star schema.  It was just what I needed to jump start my efforts at work. 

The evenings were also fine with some opportunities to spend time with my Brother and his girlfriend Tracy.  Thursday Night was ane awesome dinner at Singe Vert - Striped bass served over asparaus rissoto with lobster bisque. The lava cake was almost the source of an international incident.  The gooey center was not so gooey on cake #1 or cake #2.  A skilled application of champagne by our waitress averted an incident.

Pablo came to training and enjoyed the labs.  NYC was quite balmy for October and he had to coll down in the mini-fridge.
