I am pre-blogging this on my flight from San Jose to New York City to meet up with PT. Over the next two weeks, we’ll find ourselves flying to Duesseldorf, Germany via Dublin, Ireland to attend my 10-year high school reunion in Gelsenkirchen that I am currently organizing remotely. We’ll be visiting my friends and family in my lovely childhood town Wulfen-Barkenberg and other cities such as Essen, Bochum, and Krefeld. While in Germany, we will take the 4.5 hour drive on Germany’s Autobahn to Berlin (and back). After a week in good old Germany, we’ll be flying to Rome, to spend a few days there, and then fly to Venice for the remaining days of our vacation. After two weeks, we’ll be returning back to Manhattan where I will only spend a night there, because I’ll fly back to San Francisco the next morning to immediately drive up to Napa Valley to attend a wedding there. After the wedding, I hope to catch a late night flight back to Orange County to attend a single-day community meeting the next morning, only to fly back to San Jose the next morning afterwards, to take the train from the airport directly to work in Mountain View. All this in just 18 days. Let the games begin.
