Inside ASI-AP

Week 13 – last week!

This was quiet week. Monday was travelling from Chicago (missed flight on weekend) and Wednesday was July 4th public holiday!

I met with John Benda to review what we had achieved in Customer Care setup in the previous 3 months, as well as going forward. Generally other items were just tidying up loose ends, and packing for the return home on Friday.

On Tuesday I went to the July 4 concert rehearsal with Carol and Randy and some of Carol’s friends – pictures attached. I spent most of July 4 packing up everything for the return trip. I did intend to ride the bike to the river and watch the fireworks, but it started raining and was windy just as I was about to leave. So I chickened out and watched the fireworks from the condo building roof (sundeck) – it was pretty amazing to see fireworks on a 360 degree view. Normally in Australia – fireworks are central thing – normally in the city area. In the case of July 4 – there are so many fireworks happening and from the building roof I was able see fireworks on the horizon everywhere!

The flight home was pretty much to plan. Sat on the tarmac (again) in Dulles for 45 mins (third time in a 10 days). The travel time from getting to the airport to getting back to Brisbane was around 30 hours. Fun! :)

I am on holidays this coming week and back in the Melbourne office July 16. Hopefully Jenny P has a desk available for me again ……

Look forward to seeing you all in a week.

Signing off for the US Trip – Colin.
