As Kat alluded to at the end of a recent post I’m travelling again to visit “head office” in Mountain View for two weeks.
This coming weekend is American Thanksgiving and due to various flight timing quirks the best option for me to be in San Fransisco by Monday morning (ready to work and not too jet lagged) was to fly before the holiday weekend. Hanging out by myself in San Fransisco for the holiday weekend didn’t sound like much fun, but it is the perfect opportunity to pop up to Vancouver/Whistler and catch up with Christopher before he departs back to New Zealand sometime next year (assuming he doesn’t come up with another scheme to stay in Canada for longer…). So I’m currently sitting in San Fransisco airport waiting for my connecting flight up to Vancouver. Ironically I’ve already flown across Canada this morning on the way to San Fransisco from Dublin, but unfortunately more direct flights between Dublin and Vancouver are not really possible to do.
I get back to San Fransisco late on Sunday evening (along with all the other holiday weekend travellers) and then spend two weeks here, leaving on the 7th Dec to arrive back in Dublin first thing on the 8th about 5 hours before we leave for our “Christmas” holiday in Austria! I’m hoping my return flight doesn’t get delayed for any reason!
I’m looking forward to catching up with Chris again (almost 1yr since I last saw him) and if his latest emails are to be believed they’ve just got the first of the seasons snow so he has a rigorous snowboarding schedule planned which will undoubtedly put my fitness to the test!
Stay tuned for more news once something more exciting than sitting in a plane or an airport happens…
