Travel Summary: August to October 2007

Life has been very busy since last post. Below is a summary of all of the trips I've done since last post, and I'm not entirely sure that I even remembered all of them. Some nasty experiences, but also some tremendous ones as well. I actually took the time to assign a point scheme to each trip, with '+' numbers for good things and '-' for bad. Ironically, it actually totaled up to exactly zero!

1 week Kokomo, Indiana:

• trouble with US customs, almost didn’t make flight
• met customer in person which I had previously had a long-standing relationship with and had never actually shook hands with
  

1 week Fort Worth TX:

• flight canceled on way back due to problem with the main cabin door, spent 12 hours at airport waiting and stress about what to do

1 week San Jose:

• fantastic trip; went hiking in Big Basin State Park and in Muir Woods National Monument, both breathtakingly beautiful forests
• went to San Francisco, bought lots at Ameoba Music, the best music store in the world

1 week germany:

• hiking every evening in the forest

1 week England:

• M1 was closed; got off plane at Heathrow at 6:30 AM; didn’t make it to hotel until dinner
• got to meet Mum and Paul for dinner, as they just happened to be vacationing there while I was visiting
• ate at the same Indian restaurant every night; you can’t improve upon perfection

2 weeks Germany:

• here I stand
