Hi again everybody... i'm getting old. My ability to fly overseas and back in one week has declined significantly. I'm encountering serious jetlag after a week in Austin and Toronto. Its probably my 7th trip (i lost count) in this year alone.
On a sad note, my company had layoffs a few weeks ago so it was critical that I fly back to HQ to check-in with friends and colleagues.
Getting to Austin is a pain, via LAX, where they simply don't welcome foreigners. And the connections require you to walk outside to another terminal. But I caught up before U.S. Thanksgiving holiday with colleagues in Austin. They took me to a much better Vietnamese restaurant near the old office/airport.... with great pho, broken rice and bun. However we opted out of the all you can eat (stir fried) buffet...which was only $6.99US! (can you believe how cheap that is??). Dallas airport was a zoo on the way to Toronto as well.
In Toronto, I stayed with my parents for a few days which was nice. Had to work the first few days but then caught up with old friends, new babies and attended my nephew Adam's baptism.
Also, there is almost 10ft of snow at Whistler Blackcomb, and the mountains are open! Can't wait to go there after New Year!
