I am finally done with the crazy travel of the last couple of weeks, and as much as I usually love to travel you won’t find me getting in a plane any time soon (unless it’s me at the controls). In the last 2.5 weeks I have flown on 11 flight legs, landing in Baltimore, New York, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, London, and Amsterdam. My business trip to Europe included just over 24 hours of actual flying time (plus who knows how much time waiting in airport lounges) but I spent only 21 hours in a work office or meeting!

Anyway, we had a really good time in New York and there may be some posts on that later. In the meantime, if you missed them you can check out some photos here and here.

Not much to report from the London and Amsterdam visits, least not much that isn’t prohibited by an NDA, but I did take a few snaps of my hotel and some of Amsterdam city. You can see these here.

So no more travel for a while, I think, though if I had gotten back from Europe a day or two earlier I probably would have been going to Seattle today for 2 days for some more meetings. I am definitely glad I am not.

Made it to New York the city is crazy with the big UN meeting going on. The front desk said our hotel is full of secret service people, will have to watch my mouth.

Then, during dinner at my favourite place, Virgils, Sarah Palin arrived at the hotel opposite surrounded by cops.

The city is as crazy as ever.

Off to the Big Apple tomorrow for a few days R’n'R, will take in the major sights and show Teri my old haunts (fortunately some, like The Village Idiot, no longer exist). So likely no posts or comments approvals during that time, though I do have the WP app on the iPhone. Might twitter a little if the mood strikes, I don’t want you to miss me too much.

Laters, peeps.

Made a little video of the apartment I stay in during the week whilst I slave away at work. I made a bunch of mistakes verbally during the filming - can you spot them all???

Take one bottle of wine
add some Robbie Williams
add some Kylie singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
and you get sadness.

Three years this Saturday: Mum, I miss you.
