My upcoming travel plans ...

Hey everyone,

sorry I haven't written for a while. It's been a bit of a crazy week, with massive assignments due in my Strategy Leadership of non-profits class (25%) and Global and International Marketing class (35% of total assessment). Seeing we had six weeks to do these assignments, one would expect that leaving it until the day or two before would result in some pretty late nights ... and it did ...

Over the next few months, I'll be going LOTS and LOTS of places - including back home for Christmas (insert wild cheering and applause!). Here is my schedule:

• This Sunday (20th): Fly to LONDON for "Eurotrek" - a recruiting event for MBAs at American schools looking to work in Europe. And, since we qualified for Germany 2006 (I was up to 4am my time watching the text commentary live on the internet!), working in Europe over summer (same time as the World Cup) is priority number ONE.
• Sunday 27th November: Return to SAN FRANCISCO from London for one week of classes, then a few final exams (and Christmas parties of course)
• Thursday 15th December: Fly to SYDNEY - But this will take almost 48 hours (it was VERY hard to get a ticket). San Fran - Hawaii - Manila - Melbourne - Sydney ... yuk, yuk, yuk ...
• Sunday 18th December: Arrive in SYDNEY for 10 days of Christmas! Looking forward to see you all
• Wednesday 28th December: Fly to MANILA, Phillipines for a two-week "Study trip" where about 20 of us MBAs travel around, meet people, eat, chat, talk, learn ...
• Monday 9th January 2007: Arrive in SAN FRANCISCO late at night, just in time to start class the very next day ... =)

... Should be a lot of cool stuff to look forward to, especially seeing you all again. But as for now, it's time to catch up on sleep ...

Blessings
