A (long) day in the life
If all goes as planned then today will be one of the longest and "hardest" I've been through. Not only do I fly from the middle of Germany to San Francisco but I also have to be "awake" enough to actually chat coherently to people later this evening (Pacific). And before I whine too much - it's my fault and mine alone.
All times local.
5:50 am - Hannover, Germany
I got up at 3:30 am and left home at 4:00. Just over an hours drive and I make Hannover airport with time to spare. The only Wifi available costs 4.50 Euros for half an hour, so I'll wait until I'm somewhere where it's cheaper. My flight for Paris leaves at 06:50.
8:49 am - Paris, France
An uneventful flight gets me to Paris with enough time to get through security and to my gate with about half an hour to spare before boarding. I've never been to Paris before - but I don't think this quite counts. The flight to San Francisco leaves at 10:15. Someone else just opened up their 12 inch Powerbook and already we're brothers. Yo.
2:50 pm - San Francisco, USA
I'm in the hotel after taking the BART from SFO into downtown. The long flight over was smooth and service on Air France is pretty good. Now for a shower and then off for the rest of today.
