How quiet this blog has been. Last trip stretched the workation concept to its limits. Now for something rather different.
I am sitting in departures, landside at Heathrow Terminal 1. I am early for my 2045 flight and there is a queue for the TAM check-in desks. Rather than wait airside I'm looking for the queue to subside so that I can hopefully get a seat with some space on one or either side. I'll get to Sao Paulo by early morning Brazil time, then catch a mid-morning hop to… Buenos Aires!
Here's the plan. I have booked an apartment in the San Telmo district, south of the centre of the city for 30 days. The high-speed cable internet access should allow me to keep on top of work whilst I explore, dance the tango, drink Malbec, go to the opera and eat steak! I will also attend the city's Rotary Club, meet friends I made there last trip, go to church with Lourdes and take lessons in tango from the masters of that very difficult dance. I have also grown my hair so that the world's greatest barber (he's won awards, you know) can do his thing.
Something making this foray back to foreign climes very special – my wonderful girlfriend Kokila is able to join me for the second half of the trip. She's an amazing person who says yes and puts up, nay embraces my travel madness. In addition there are several members of my London tango class making their way out, too. Lee will in fact be sharing the apartment for some of the trip and will arrive next week.
I intend to blog daily, and I don't expect that any nights will be spent away from the flat. I'll be testing the workation concept, this time from a base.
Best wishes to all. I think I might check in now.
