Travel Log
WHERE: Cleveland, OH
WHEN: June 2nd – June 4th, 2021
HOW: The CTO Advisor Flying Cloud
From Chicago, IL to Cleveland, OH
DEPART 8:40 am ⇒ ARRIVE 2:25 pm
June 2nd, 2021
The CTO Advisor Road Trip 2020 kicks off by doing exactly what we wanted to do which was to connect with some good friends! We said good pay to Tinley Park, IL and hello to the KOA Holiday in Streetboro, OH.
It was our first day setting up camp site. There were a couple of other Airstreams. We are discovering traveling in an Aistream is kind of a big deal in the RV community either when motor coaches are much bigger and more expensive (well maybe not all when you take the F250 in to count).
Safe travels! @CTOAdvisor and @MrsCto are hitting the road today to kick off the official #CTOARoadTrip #CTOAFlyingCloud pic.twitter.com/4X3AY23N3C

We got the attend the grand re-opening of Foskett Services LLC (the Tech Field Day offices). The crew is a be eclectic. We haven’t seen Shannon and Stephen since the Tech Field Day 10th’ anniversary party back in San Jose in 2019! It was great re-connecting with some of our favorite people in the industry.
June 4th, 2021
Content day! We recorded all 3 of our scheduled videos for the region. We learned that Akron, OH and Cleveland aren’t the same place. We interviewed the great folks at Excelsior Marker in Akron. They are competing against the manufacturing might of China.
We also met with Platinum Sponsor NetApp and recorded to Telsa car video interviews. Rumor has it, Keith and Greg have a rather embarrassing John Denver inspired carpool karaoke.
Reason #3 why you do not browse through the photos on someone's phone – or their shared GDrive folder.
Here's something resembling John Denver with @CTOAdvisor and @Knieriemen to kick off your weekend. No need to thank me. pic.twitter.com/ctvyadwo8H— Josh Atwell (@Josh_Atwell) June 18, 2021

So long Cleveland. We didn’t spend nearly enough time with this beautiful part of the country. We could definitely see ourselves living here, if it weren’t for the fact it gets just as cold as Chicago!
