The last time I went to New York for work I took the red-eye flight over (its about 5.5 hours from SFO to JFK and about 6 hours back) to "gain" a day -- that way I could see Geoff for a bit longer. However, my body and mind hated me for the next 2 days after such a horrible night of sleep; so, this time I left early on a Tuesday morning (September 7th), worked the whole way there on the plane and made it into Manhattan at the perfect time to grab dinner with an old friend....
Geoff and I had some yummy Italian food, swapped stories and exchanged updates on friends and loved ones. It was so nice to get all caught up!
The next day I dressed up, packed my bags and walked over to my meeting which ended up being a poor decision given how warm it was in the city. I couldn't believe it, actually -- it was much warmer in NYC than here in the Bay Area!!After 5+ hours of solid meetings and a "working lunch," my boss and I shared a cab to the airport and once again I was boarding the plane for the long haul back to California.
I was able to relax a little more on the flight home, aided in part by this gorgeous sunset.
I'm so lucky to have such a fantastic job that allows me to travel and meet interesting people AND see my friends living on the other side of the country ;)
