This summer, we could have sipped pina coladas on a Carribean island, or Guinness in a pub in London, but why, when we could drive from Vancouver to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada.

What on earth would make us do a thing like that you ask? I have been tempted on occasion, to ask myself the same question. Especially once we actually arrived there.

The reason we went, and what made the trip worthwhile was to go to Defcon 14 (Hacker con). The best part of Defcon for me, were the great people I met.

Not being a hacker myself, I felt a tad intimidated by the sheer size and processing power of the brains around me. But I found that if you drink enough beer you start to sound smarter (at least in your own head and that's all that really counts).
It also helped that everyone was so friendly and welcoming that it was hard to feel out of place for long.

I have finally sorted through the pics of the trip and I have posted them here for anyone interested.
And next year when the question again raises itself, what shall we do for vacation?
Probably the same.
