I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Date: Week of March 13th Locale: Lansing Michigan Well, all good things must come to an end, and my reward after two weeks on the beautiful Hawaiian Isles, is a week in Lansing Michigan. To make it even better, it snowed, and has been COLD. At least we didn't as much snow here as the East Coast got! Lansing's a nice city, but I haven't gone out much. Not because of the cold, nor the snow. It's the time difference. We 'sprung' ahead Saturday night, except Hawaii doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time. So instead of coming home to a four hour time shift from Hawaii to Illinois, it was a five hour difference. Which is then a six hour difference to Michigan (East Coast) time. I flew out of Kona on Sunday at noon. There was a 1.5 hour delay leaving Kona due to a mechanical problem with the plane, so my two hour layover in San Francisco became twenty five minutes. Leaving at noon meant it would be a red eye flight from San Francisco to O'Hare. A flight I've learned to hate, but an almost necessary one for this trip. I arrived at O'Hare at 5:30 am on Monday morning, only to get a rental car and head for Michigan. Fatigue, pure and simple, is why I haven't gotten out much. But I will be back here in three weeks, so maybe I can see more then. That's about it for this entry, not much to say I guess. Til next time, y'all stay warm out, it's still winter. If down under, stay cool, it's still summer! |
