Shanghai

So, here in Shanghai, and it’s a good 10 degrees cooler than it was two weeks ago. Rain in the forecast cooling it off even further. Only brought shorts, so the temp better not fall too much 🙂

Travel

So 45 of the last 60 days spent in Shanghai. Get 9 days at home between trips this time. Leaving again next Tuesday for 16 days. Haven’t even got over the jet lag yet.

On another note thinking of heading to Portugal for some R&R

United Airlines

Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I must give kudos to United for the flights yesterday (today?). We were delayed over 2 hours leaving SFO due to weather on the east coast, so we arrived late for our connection in Newark. United was continually updating us on the flight status while we waited at SFO thru phone calls and e-mails. Then when we arrived in Newark, they had staff there to get us onto a cart where they whisked us off to our gate while the plane waited. More staff at the gate to make sure we got aboard. And our luggage made it to Lisbon with us. All in all, some excellent service from United yesterday. Obrigado!
