Home from India

I finally arrived home from India after 15 hours of travel!  Our meeting with ABB was completed by 3pm on Wednesday so I headed for the airport - unfortunately my flight was not scheduled to depart until 8pm.  Nothing like 5 hours to kill in the Bangalore airport.  My next stop was Delhi after a 2-1/2 hour flight.  1hour layover then a 5 hour flight to Hong Kong another 2 hour layover then my final 2-1/2 hour flight from HK to Shanghai.  By the time I got home I was absolutely wiped out.  The next day I went into work to try and catch up on my expense reports as well as interview a couple of candidates for a Channel Management position that we have open.  By the time the last interviewee left I was really not feeling well.  I got a ride home from my colleague's driver and spent the next 14 hours in bed with a 24 hour flu bug.  Did I mention that I love India?!  Spent Saturday with Landon and Regan feeling much better while Cynthia was at a women's retreat with our church.  She had the opportunity to employ her newly found acting skills and perform a 10 minute monologue which she absolutely nailed by all reports.  That evening we attended our friend's 50th birthday celebration (the same one we tried to attend one month ago)  This time we had the date correct and really enjoyed ourselves.  Today is Sunday and we are going to take it easy.  I depart for Korea on Monday - only 2 day trip this time. Whew!  I am tired from just writing about this.  Take care!
