So, in exactly 2 months (yyyeeeesss), we will be in Saint Barth for our 10th stay there (celebrate!), our 15 years of marriage anniversary (celebrate!), and my 40 years (celebrate!).

Wow, the restaurants selection will be tough!

…just realized that it is my 4th time at LeWeb conference (2005, 2006, 2007, 2011).

Funny to have a look back at “Les Blogs 2.0” (yes it was called in this way in 2005) with some “known faces” ;-) And … 350 participants!

Loic LeMeur!
