T-30 minutes to take-off for 2 months on the road

Am at the CX lounge at HKIA, ecstatic that I got a lastminute upgrade. HKG-BOS (via JFK) is a really long flight; will be in the air and in transit for more than 20 hours! Boston is the first stop on my 2 month departure from Hong Kong. People have been asking me if it's for work or play. To be honest, I can't really tell anymore. Even when I'm on holiday, I try to squeeze in as many hotel visits, meals, shops, shows, meetings as I possibly can. And my office is really anywhere my laptop can log onto an internet connection.

I still haven't worked out all the places I'll be going during this time, but I will be spending quite a bit of time in Vancouver (where the weather will be wonderful) and New York City. Am looking forward to working and playing on the other side of the Pacific for a change. Next week, I will be spending a couple of days on horseback, riding and camping in Wyoming. Can't wait! It'll be a much needed respite from the hustle and bustle on Hong Kong life.

But in the meantime...first stop, Boston!
