A funny thing happend on Tuesday night.... My boss phoned me (He is currently in New York) and said "I need you in New York before the end of the week!". You could see the joy (NOT) in the faces of the admin staff when I told them on Wednesday morning.......
So today, Thursday, at 3pm (New York time) I find myself in a meeting on Madison Avenue in the heart of New York City!!!
Talk about jetsetting...... Well it's more exhausting than anything. I had to be up in time to catch the first tube of the day (05:20 London time) in order to get to Heathrow on time. When I got to New York I had to find accommodation. It was impossible to do it from London as there is a UN conference on and hotel rooms are like gold dust. I got to my hotel at 2pm (New York time), just in time to freshen up and get to my meeting!
I have at least three more meetings tomorrow, but get Saturday to myself before flying out at 08:30 in the morning (New York time) on Sunday to arrive back at Heathrow at 20:00 (London time). And yes, its into the office as normal on Monday.
Don't let anyone tell you that business travel is glamorous or fun!!
