Travel Overload

By Nick Hodge | June 22, 2002

Another day, another flight. The plan: 2 hours at San Jose "international" airport. 1 hour flight San Jose to LAX. 5 hours layover. 14 hours LAX to Sydney. 3 hours layover. 3 hours Sydney to Auckland. Total = 29 hours "on the road". Yes, sports fans, jetsetting is a glamorous lifestyle of the rich and famous. And what makes it worse: I have about 467,000 Qantas Freaky Flyer points - and its impossible to do anything with them.

For those in New Zealand, I'll see you at Printtech 2002. You will find me at the Fuji-Xerox stand doing mini-training courses on InDesign 2.0.

I love visiting New Zealand. It has to be the most beautiful place in the world. Thankfully, I get to visit as a part of my job. When I told my friends at Adobe US I "was off to NZ" after this visit to the US, they were all amazed... Kia Kaha!

Ok, this is coolness. Sitting in the terminal @ San Jose International Airport - wirelessly online and able to send emails. Alan Rosenfeld and I are now so sick of the musak we've got our headphones on and are doing work. Alan is listening to African music wishing he was still on holiday. I am listening to Neil Finn - to get into a NZ mood. Saturday in San Jose, Monday in Auckland.
