I’m sure some of you have gone on a quick business trip before, maybe even regularly. I’ve had a lot of travel over the last few years, and quite a few short trips to various cities for events or customer visits. I’m expecting a few other stretches this year that will be busy, but not like this.

I’m off to London today, actually I left last night, and I’ll be there around 940a local time today. I am jumping on an 1130a flight Wednesday to return, so this will be a 50 hours trip to London. I’m going for the Redgate Summit, and I’d usually make this a week trip and get to the office in Cambridge, but I am bookended by prior commitments.

Yesterday (Sunday) had to coach a team at a volleyball tournament in Denver. This coming weekend, I need to be in New Orleans Friday to coach over the weekend. I guess I could try to stay one more day and get to Cambridge, but I would like a minute to decompress at home. So back Wed and head to New Orleans for the weekend.

Fortunately this type of trip is a rarity, but it has happened a few times in the past and I’m sure it will happen again.
