Big Plans

The weekend is looming ahead. We definitely feel the pressure. We are in Europe and there are expectations heaped upon our heads -- needs to see the world, needs to make exciting Monday morning conversation. The stress of doing somethinig "cool". Of course, we for the most part, are going to go with option 2, which is to try and instead garner the sympathy vote by spending the weekend working. This option definitely has rewards, but we are going to work through a compromise.

We are going to take Saturday off and run over to Lake Constance which is on the border of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. We are going to try to figure out if we can get a boat to the middle so that we can stand in three countries at the same time.

On Sunday, Coby is going to take option 2 for the entire day. I am going to "take one for the team" and go for a different experience during the day and then work through the evening. My goal is to try to go to Mont Blanc and see the sites.

I have to drive to Chamonix (France) which shouldn't be "too" hard and the great thing about our hotel is that it is very close to the airport -- so getting back is easy. This will be my first border crossing in Europe by myself. Not that it is challenging, but no one ever lets me stop and ask for a stamp in my passport. So if I don't post Sunday night, it probably because I made the border guards angry for stopping traffic and I am in some French prison.

Today we are back in the exciting hotel lobby working. I went into the office this morning for meetings, but the whole office is leaving at noon to celebrate their 10 year anniversary in Geneva. (We were not invited). We work on the wireless in the lobby so that I can secondhand smoke. Coby is very good to sacrifice and smoke here so that I can maintain my vice.

It has been a long week and I look forward to getting away from everyone for a bit.
