2006 working trips memoir

UK, US and China, 2006


Just wanted to collate my working trips in 2006. Really went to a lot of places that year. Actually I was just helping a sister unit with their outreach efforts. In fact, all my working trips except the 2007 one were for this sister unit. 

This means I still had my own work to do... I remember one night, I was trying to clear some of my own work with boss who was also at the same trip. After a few to and fro emails, he said might as well call and so we did - called the hotel phone. That was 3am *.*

The first trip to London was also when my "flight flu", as I called it, started. Maybe it was too long since I took long trips?

London, Manchester; 10-15 Mar 2006

This was my first working trip. I was informed to pack and go one week before it happened. My younger self blogged a lot so info on this trip can be found in three posts.
  1. The beginning - also struck gold finding this post coz of a random comment from Mother
  2. On the plane - yes, need to write :p
  3. Finally there! 
I just realised that that was my first and only trip to Manchester (as of 2026) and I didn't see a thing outside of the event haha!

NYC, Boston, Michigan; 31 Mar-6 Apr 2006

Flight flu continued, unabated. So things were a blur. I did my best... Michigan is like Manchester for me :p
  1. On arrival
  2. All the gory details
  3. Homebound

Shanghai; 24-27 Aug 2006
