Business Travel

Business travel is weird when you are already living in another country.
Earlier this week, I was in Paris for a meeting. It was really strange to drive for an hour to an airport, get on a plane for an hour, and then arrive in Paris. Paris is one of those places that is supposed to be far away.
It was a good trip, though. I met up with several people from Indianapolis, including my once and (probably) future manager, and we had a nice dinner and stroll through Paris.
Today I found out that I will be going to Seattle in two weeks. It seems really bizarre to visit the US as a foreign country!!! I haven’t yet finagled a trip to Indianapolis out of the deal yet, but I’m trying.
Sandi and I are working on a plan to bring back a suitcase filled with cooking supplies from the US. I’m a little worried about what will happen if the customs officers open up my suitcase, and the bag of powdered sugar has exploded!
This should be a good opportunity to get some of those things we’ve been missing, though.
