Later this evening I’m going to start packing my bags in preparation for the most complicated bit of this business trip. Tomorrow morning I’ll check out of my hotel (the Royal Orchid) in Bangalore, but I’ll leave my suitcase here. At 7 AM, my driver will take me to the airport to board a flight to Pune. My colleague Vish will meet me at the airport and we’ll drive to the ex-Storability facility just outside the city. After a packed schedule of meetings, I’ll return to the airport and fly back to Bangalore, arriving (hopefully!) at 8:05 PM. My driver will take me back to the Royal Orchid, where I’ll grab a quick dinner and retrieve my suitcase. Finally at about 10 PM I’ll return to Bangalore airport, pay off my driver, and check in for my 2:15 AM flight to Frankfurt. That’s scheduled to land at 8:15 AM local time, and I’ll have a 4 hour layover before my flight to Prague, which I should reach at 1:30 PM.
Whew!
So if all goes well, my next blog entry will be posted from the Diplomat Hotel in Prague, on Saturday afternoon. (However I might post a “Quicky” en route.)
