I’m getting ready for a very hectic week in Asia, and have decided that I need a day at the start to recover a bit from jet lag before adding sleep deprivation. So on Friday I’ll fly from Atlanta to Wuhan, China, via Detroit and Shanghai. I’ll get to the hotel late on Saturday evening and will have Sunday to explore Wuhan. I’ve never been there before, so that should be fun. Wuhan is the largest city in central China (10M+ people). It’s also known as one of the “Three Ovens” of China, so it’ll be nice and toasty in late July!
I’ll have meetings in Wuhan on Monday, then fly out to Beijing that evening. After meetings in Beijing on Tuesday, I’ll fly out to Seoul that evening. Finally after two days of meetings in Seoul, I’ll fly home on Friday, via Portland. That’s 7 flights in 8 days, covering 16,861 miles. Please put your seat back and tray table in their fully upright and locked positions. And remember, smoking is…not allowed…on any Delta flight.
ATL-DTW-PVG-WUH, WUH-PEK, PEK-ICN, ICN-PDX-ATL
Crazy “to China” flight path. From Detroit to Shanghai? But hey, you’ll be flying over Alaska and Russia… :)
Dhane is in Portland. Will you have time for a short visit or phone call?
