Sunday morning: LHR ~ SFO, connect to SBA (Santa Barbara) for one night. Monday was back to SFO and night stop. Tuesday was drive to meeting in Santa Clara and back. This was a particularly enjoyable birthday...
Wednesday: SFO ~ HKG get in late and arrive in client office on Thursday feeling just fantastic after doing all of that in coach coz the b@st@rds would not pay for club.
Engineering manager greets me, "We thought we'd save a day, so we have brought all the supplier presentations forward by 24 hours." I have very little memory of what the suppliers told us about their products! Fortunately, I was there for a ten days before I came home. ALSO in coach.
