Too good to last...

Up until today I had no travel booked, for business or leisure, in the first three months of the year. Sadly, my days on the ground are numbered. I now have two separate trips scheduled to New York; one for 2.5 days in mid-February and one for 1.5 weeks in mid-May. The first Atlantic crossing will be rather punishing. I'll have to take a long-distance taxi from a country manor we've rented for the weekend at 4.45am to Heathrow airport, catch the first flight of the day to New York, then go straight into meetings and dinner until almost midnight local time. That's 24 hours on my feet. I think I'll be napping on my morning flight!
