[wplug] Roadtrip? (was Re: [wplug-bsd] BSDCan 2004)

[Sean McCune]

I made this trip in 2001 to the Ottawa Linux Symposium:

	http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/ 

Its more like an 11 hour drive.  I combined the trip up there with a 4
day stop in the Adirondacks.  But I drove back all in one shot.  Its not
so bad. :)
