		<title>A few more posts to come</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am physically back in Asheville but, as usual, I am having trouble adjusting to the time changes from such a long journey.
I have a few more things to post to this blog before I retire this chapter of travel.  Some of the things I hope to discuss are:  general impressions of the meeting, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Midnight in Noi Bai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have successfully made it through security at the Hanoi airport and I found a wireless signal that is just strong enough to slog through one more post before I l leave Vietnam.  The trip has been fantastic &#8211;  busy, exhausting, invigorating, draining, enchanting, and worth every long day and sleepless hour to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Workshops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Today has been my busiest day &#8211; the reason why I have traveled 10,000 miles from home &#8211; so I have had little time for blogging. After this post I am off to the closing ceremony.  Afterwards I&#8217;ll see if I can help take down and pack the USFS exhibit before leaving the National [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dinner + Nine Languages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight was dinner with GFIS parters and potential partners at a restaurant near the Lake Side Hotel.  As we began discussing problems/issues/challenges/opportunities with information sharing Fred Stolle noted that we had people at the table with nine different native languages. Ho Sang reminded us that English is the global language but even so, at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blue Pills, White Pills, Something Fizzy&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One very nice thing about this conference is that the Secretary Room provides free medical services. On the advice of my new found friend, Michael, I walked across the hall and was checked out by a couple of Vietnamese folks.  I assume that at least one was a doctor, but who knows&#8230;. They did [...]]]></description>

		<title>Convention Center Blogging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday has been spent at the National Convention Center with most of my time with Eero, Ho Sang, or my keyboard where I have been re-working my presentations.  Seems that one presentation needs to be shortened while the other needs expanding.
Earlier this morning I created a sample XML file and emailed Juha (GFIS technical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday Evening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick post before I call it a day and get some much needed rest.  It is 9pm in Hanoi and I just finished a meeting with Eero in which we discussed the agenda for Friday.  The program remains fluid because some countries/organizations were unable to attend, others have not confirmed their participation, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eero, Ho Sang, and GFIS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I arrived at the hotel, exhausted, around 10:30pm and I was happy to see Eero was online (skype) and learn that he had arrived safely in Hanoi.  Since we are both at the same hotel we agreed to met in the lobby for a moment to say hello and talk briefly about [...]]]></description>

		<title>United States Forest Service and Vietnam&#8217;s Forest Protection Department</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday afternoon I was fortunate enough to be present at the signing ceremony of a letter of intent between the United States Forest Service and Vietnam&#8217;s Forest Protection Department.
The details of the document, along with the description and significance of this event, are obviously something that should be voiced by the United States Government [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday at the APFC: Full Tilt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is early afternoon in Hanoi and I finally have a moment to stop and write a quick blog post.  The morning has been extremely busy.  Full tilt.  I had more computer problems but quite frankly I am tired of going into the details of my woes so I&#8217;ll just be happy [...]]]></description>
