On the road again: Austin, day 5

I am home.

In fact, I will be home for 3.5 weeks, which is quite some treat.

Today's travel went about as well as one can reasonably expect.  Check-out from the hotel was an unreasonably long and hassle-filled process, but this trip the hotel's staff seemed to have lost a great deal of knowledge, so I was prepared for this development.  The trip to the airport was uneventful, and check-in and security were painless processes.  That truly is about as good as it gets.

I love lunching in the Austin airport, because standing side-by-side are two wonderful places:  a Salt Lick bbq, and an Amy's.  When your lunch includes brisket and a small cup of delicious ice cream, your day is bound to be good.

I got an upgrade on the second flight, and I was able to work for all of it.  As I said, as good as it can get.

I am so very pleased to be home.

What's that you say?  You want some more Petula Clark?

Happy to oblige.



Enjoy.

On the road again: IDF, day 4

I'm home.  A day that starts after less than three hours of sleep with a 5:15 a.m. wake-up call is never going to be my favorite, but everything from when I woke up until when I reached home went according to plan.  Both flights were on time.  I was able to work for almost all of both flights.  I had time in DFW to grab a lunch of a Red Mango parfait.  I even got an upgrade on the second flight.

For a business trip, that's a pretty strong day. 

Still, I am very glad to be home.  I get to stay here for almost three weeks, and I'm quite looking forward to being in one place for a while.

While in Atlanta, I forget exactly where, I heard this song, and it's music-virused me since then.  So, have a go at it.  Maybe if it gets into your heads, it will leave mine.



Okay, I'll admit it:  As a teenager, when I first heard this song, I had a big-time crush on Petula Clark, and I still like a few of her hits.  So sue me.
