Business Trip

It's probably a sign that I'm feeling as good as I have in the last few years that I've agreed to once again, don the cloak of corporate need, and travel for business reasons. I used to travel regularly for my job but I stopped it over 3 years ago as the stress and effort was killing me when combined with the ME. I was either at work or lying in the hotel room completely destroyed. For weeks after I would feel like complete death only to be sent away again and the cycle continued. This time I'm off to our R&D facility in Menlo Park, San Francisco in the heart of Silicon Valley and a stones throw from all manner of corporate giants.

I've never been to the West Coast before and while I'll be very busy with work I've already mentioned that I'll be expecting to see the sights, Lesley wants a T-Shirt from Alcatraz at the very least. Hopefully my health will hold up a lot better this time. The US Dollar to Pound Sterling exchange rate is also very favourable for shopping so I'm already scoping out one or two essential purchases while I'm there. I'm considering a DS Lite, or a Roku MP3 Device or a Logitech Harmony Remote or a...

Flying out on January 4th (the bosses wanted us out there for 3rd January but that was a non starter) and coming back the 18th I think. May have to include a trip to Reno depending on how things go so maybe I'll win big at the Casino and be able to give it all up.
