Travel plans - USA and UK

Lets be clear on one thing, I'm not boasting about all this travel.

At this stage, according to my grand plan, I was supposed to be ensconced(*) in my corner office and letting the people working for me do the travel. It didn't happen. (Neither the corner office nor the people working for me.) So another flight half way around the world to Minnesota. Back on Saturday morning, away again on Sunday night to London. Back just in time for Paddy's day. On the plus side I'll be able to check out The Mall of American on Friday morning for a few hours.

(*) - Yes there's such a word, it describes exactly how I wanted to be in relation to the corner office, look it up.
