Looking for the perfect excuse to get out and go on a cruise, but just can't justify it yet? Well, if you're a PHP programmer and can get to Florida around March 1st to the 5th, then you're in luck. The folks at php|architect have worked out a cruise just for the PHP-heads of the world.

php|cruise is a five-day cruise (March 1st through March 5th, 2004) packed with over 50 hours of PHP training for beginners and professionals alike, all in the luxurious and fun atmosphere of a Caribbean cruise aboard one of the best ships of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Combining the beauty of a cruise to the Caribbeans with in-depth talks from some of best PHP experts in the world, php|cruise is the PHP event you will not want to miss! Of course, the trip is through the Bahamas with stops along the way, and, back on the ship, there will be seminars and speakers on everything from an "Intro to PHP" to "Data Caching Techniques". Some of the more famous people in the PHP world will be joining the trip, including John Coggeshall, George Schlossnagle, and Andrei Zmvieski.

So, if you need a few days to get away from it all, and want to learn a little in the process, then check out this cruise! Anyone else care to join me there?
