Spouse Activities Update 3
Aug 27th
Good evening everyone! I am in San Francisco making final preparations for VMworld Spousetivities 2010. I wanted to take a few minutes to update everyone on the tours.

I wanted to send this out so that everyone could stay up to date on the progress of the plans for this year at VMworld. Due to reservation requirements, we have had to cancel a couple of tours, but rest assured, those have been replaced with other exciting events. For the latest registration information, please visit the Spousetivities registration site. Make sure to register for the free breakfast and t-shirt while you are there. All of these activities are family friendly, except possibly the wine tour, which may not interest younger children.
