Times have changed since the book Around the World in Eighty Days was written, so much so that going around the world in eight days is viewed as “slow.” My journey started on Thursday departing SFO for Boston – ostensibly a 6 hour flight time – for what turned into a 12 hour marathon which included crew intrigue, equipment problems, bad weather, and lack of fuel…
Suffice to say, I arrived early Friday morning and was able to conduct business, if a little bleary eyed in so doing. I can recommend the Hampton Inn in Westford, Massachusetts as being clean, quiet, and having a friendly and competent staff (even when welcoming visitors at 4am…) I don’t recommend stopping off in the middle of the country during the summer, the storms simply make travel too unpredictable.
The next time I write, I’ll be in Europe, and soon thereafter in Asia.
