Testing requirements and lots of (mostly silly) rules were and still are a pain, but picking the right destinations minimizes the annoyance.

Many no doubt have cogent and compelling reasons for not venturing abroad, but for those who did not, or were just happy to take their chances, there was no shortage of destinations to visit. I was initially surprised at the number of aged and disabled travelers I encountered on planes, in trains, on ships, at hotels, etc, but only in the beginning.

Sure but the bulk of my travel was related to my job. All that was killed and replaced by virtual workshops, review meetings and so on. I was down to say 2 holiday travels last year, indeed to places I never visited before ;-)

It's just over two years since my last business trip and no view of the travel rate picking up any time soon.

Considering I took this job with the view of it being travel heavy, not much of a successful move in that regard.
Still not sure whether this is something I should consider in the future, or just go ahead and go for a one-location job.

Yeah, I get it. That sucks. Hasn't affected me, I need to be physically present wherever my job takes me.

That 777 about to ram into you if you don't move is a BA plane This record will stick for a bit I hope.



Yes, it's an older photo, why do you ask?

Good memories of the CX B747!

What an honour, lets start with something easy.

I lost my old phone so I won’t have much in terms of diversity but I’ll do my best
