With a wedding anniversary on Sunday and son’s birthday the following Saturday, fitting in a few important business trips visits to Beijing, San Francisco and New York (not to mention central London to pick up a visa) appears impossible.
But in a Vernian moment, I remembered the date line. So, in fact, it turns out I can…
- apply for visa on Monday morning
- receive visa and fly from Heathrow Monday afternoon
- have 2 days of meetings in Beijing, Tuesday and Wednesday
- speak at a conference in San Francisco on (my replay of) Wednesday
- do an interview with the WSJ in New York on Thursday
- get home on Friday morning
And still get home in time to help prepare for the aforementioned birthday.
3.5 days and all the way round. I think that beats my day trip to the Rockies. Is this why they call it the mobile web?
