My Princess Bride Blows Soap Bubbles… or My Travel Schedule, a Post Mortem

Princess Bride Blowing Bubbles
Let’s see… got an empty row on the flight to London, slept fitfully lying down, stayed there 10 hours and two meetings, then snagged an exit row seat on the flight back (had to beg, they normally sell these at premium rates;comfortable but no sleep, watched ‘The Departed’ and ‘The Good Shepperd’) and then managed to sleep 3 hours Wednesday night in Newark airport Hilton but more importantly take a shower and change clothing (about 26 hours since last shower before leaving home, ewww), flew to DC at 7AM, held meetings, dined out with local colleagues and finally crashed into bed for a full night’s sleep.
Got up this morning at 8AM, and caught my 11AM flight back home. Yesterday was hard between meetings, but as soon as stuff was going on, it was easy to stay awake. Today I’m fine.
Overall, this was easier that the marathon trips to Dubai with the 24 hours in transit and the 8 hour time difference.
