The long absence is due to excessive travel. I am currently sitting in seat 30E, centre seat of the bulkhead… good for legroom! I am on day eight of a two week trip. In eight days I have spent four nights in a hotel room and four nights on long haul red-eye flights. From Hong Kong I flew to Sydney, Australia for two days -> Melbourne in transit to HK -> Hong Kong arriving @ 6:45 AM. Departed HK for Delhi that night at 10:40 PM -> Delhi and now back to HK. I arrive at 3:15 PM transitting to a flight to the US that leaves 75 minutes later. I was hoping I’d have time to see Tess & The Gang but unfortunately I won’t have time.

I have started some PYM type blogs that I’ll finish and post while on all these long flights. Believe it or not I have been either so busy or so tired that I haven’t watch TV/Movies once on this trip. Actually, in part that’s because on the flight from Melbourne to HK the entertainment system kept malfunctioning.

The good news is that while in the US I can get my Christmas shopping done!
