World Traveler During 1998 and 1999 I had the privilege to work in the IBM Y2K Corporate Project Office and travel to Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Vienna, Portsmouth, Glasgow, Dublin, Milan, Mainz, Stuttgart, Toronto, and Mexico City. Our Peer Review team was truly virtual, with members from Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Minnesota, Raleigh, San Jose, Australia, Scotland and Sweden. These travel links remain here to help anyone who travels frequently. Best wishes to everyone from the team in their new endeavors. |
