Flying to Shanghai

Every four years our calendars account for built-in inaccuracies by adding a full day to our year and gifting us all the most precious resource of all.... time!  This year I found a new way to completely waste this 24 hour gift.... flying to China. 

Man was that a long flight!  Including the time from Austin to Chicago (etc...) it was basically 22-23 hours of travel time.  I was on plane so long that I was actually beginning to enjoy the in-flight meals.  Once we landed we headed out for a delicious Chinese meal which brought me back to a very yummy reality.

I am here with a bunch of National Instruments employees for our Asia Sales Summit (basically a time for us to align global resources on messaging and technical training).  This will limit the amount of sightseeing I get to do but I will make sure to share pictures, etc... once I get back to the states.
