Not another airport...

Just came back from (another) trip to Manila for business. I cannot believe how often I've been back after saying that I was going to be travelling quarterly. But in between clients dropping by to see the facility, having to prepare the facility for an important client visit, preparing to move, moving and setting up the new facility, there was just no way but to travel back and forth.

When I was younger I thought travelling would be the best thing ever - having a job that would require me to travel and see the world or visit various people, that would be perfect. Although I don't travel the world, I visit only one place all the time, travelling has become very tedious. The airports drain me, airport security and luggage fears exhaust me, and staying in one place for enough time to get me back into the time zone only to fly back...the travelling isn't so much fun anymore.

Oh don't get me wrong, I still love going to places, I think I am just done with the flights. If someone could already invent that machine that would allow us to transport ourselves through time and space THAT would be great! Imagine, pay for a ticket, go to this transport and FLASH, you're in another place with all your bags with you, safe and sound.

Once I landed, it's not fun either that 3 days after that (still jetlagged and all) Brian has to fly out for 3 days for budget meetings. So I have both kids, jetlag, all the unopened mail and catching up to do...tiring. No surprise that I am at my most unmotivated right now. I am both happy and weary at the thought that I will have a couple of months at least of being able to stay put. Happy because I get to focus on one side of the world, without having to worry about rushing to get things done prior to flying; weary because I still will be working on both sides, only I don't get to fly out.

I can hardly tell if my writing is making sense, yet another reason jetlag sucks. Be back when my brain is with me. Toodles.
