Number 12

I am on my way again to India tonight. Trip number 12 (--or is it 13?) is starting well with my new Executive Platinum status upgrade having come through. This means I am in Business Class not cattle. SO much better.

And, there is a secret lounge in Chicago just for Executive Platinum--the 'Flagship Lounge' with 'free' booze, fresh food and quiet. It will probably be the last quiet I will have for two weeks--and the last raw veggie's I am going to feel safe consuming. Seriously, this place is really hidden in the airport--it is a 15 minute walk to my gate from here. I am looking for George Clooney to appear--and that really would make my night.

Two weeks away from home, with all kinds of work in between so it will go fast. It is sometimes lonely on the road, swimming through the cultural differences. Good to go, good to come back.

Love this t-shirt I spotted walking through the airport. Made me laugh.
