Yup, Leave Sunday, pretty much lose Monday due to 16 hour time zone change and now I’m in Tokyo and it’s Tuesday (end of the day). I’ve worked out my jetlag stuff pretty well – funny thing is that with it being 16 hours difference you go backwards in the jetlag time adjustment period. Yesterday my watch said -16 hours, this morning it was -7 and now it’s -5.5 vs local time. So even though […]
Lisbon was a great time – the tradeshow was a bunch of work, but I guess that pays for the fun doesn’t it… Moved hotels out to towards the conference center – hotel was a bit uncomfortable and caters to either tradeshow folks our tour bus goers. The show ended up being a good time with lots of meetings, etc. I ended up giving a presentation and right after bolted to the airport and am […]
Well, probably a shorter post today. I elected to go run up/down/up/down a hill outside this a.m. – good choice as it sort of kicked by a__ a bit, but is good for me. Had a nice breakfast and then Kerry and I went for a great walk through the heart of the city – which is super touristy. Even our guide yesterday pointed out how few people actually live downtown anymore. Found some great […]
Ok, now in Lisbon – seems like only yesterday I was in India and now I’m here – even with a weekend in Chicago and Leadville. A lifetime ago I was in Lisbon and Portugal – spent a summer working on a farm further south of here – and Lisbon is definitely a bustling city with lots of tourism and AirBnB business at the heart of the city. Today Kerry and I (we’re both here […]
Well it’s been a fast couple of weeks and back at work, having to fly to Chicago (2 hours) for a tradeshow on Airline Loyalty programs. I was able to also bring Cindy along and we visited friends and hung out for a couple of days. The weather was really amazing, shorts even on Friday, Saturday a.m. was pouring rain, so we got really lucky with nice weather. We ended up taking the boat architectural […]
So I decided that the best flight option coming home was a 3 a.m. departure from Bangalore to Denver – via Frankfurt. Was it convenient, yes, was I really tired, for sure. Was able to have dinner with Ashley at our hotel, then shower, pack and leave for the airport around 11 pm. By the time I got into my seat and settled it was about 2:45, and I remember taxiing back from the gate… […]
Yup, made the transition from Singapore to Bangalore India today – about a 4.5 hour flight and generally wasn’t bad. Found myself in 51A with ‘no status’ – window seat which was nice. Nice guy next to me falling asleep on my shoulder was also ‘nice’. We arranged for the hotel to pick us up at the airport and were treated in 5-star style. Everyone so far is incredibly nice and very helpful. Ashley booked […]
Ok, yesterday was another happy tourist day, seeing all to see – we ended up going to the 57th floor above the “boat hotel” that sits on top of three separate buildings. They are building a fourth building for $3B as well. Pretty crazy people watching – there was a woman who was obviously an Instagram person – walking back and forth video-ing herself back and forth, walking by, another take, walk by again, pouty […]
Alright, I have to admit that when we go as a family we try to get off the beaten path and largely stay away from the tourist centered focus places, but in Singapore it’s been about every place that I’ve been – super fun but also a little overwhelming. Ashley and I have been to little India, Chinatown, boat tour, skyscraper, casino/hotel resort (built on man made island), etc. etc. etc. It’s all very interesting […]
Well Singapore is 14 hours ahead of MST, so it’s a bit strange to think at 8 pm here it’s 6 am back home, but we’ll work through it. My Garmin watch has a feature called Jet Lag Advisor and it really helps manage this process- today is my second full day and have made it fully though the day without much trouble. Yesterday was a bit harder, but gets better each day. Ashley (work […]
