I only managed to get about 2 hours of sleep last night due to jet lag. Woke up still not believing that we’re in Japan, one of our favorite places in the world. I usually have nothing hard scheduled for the first day of a trip, we’ll stay close to where our hotel/airbnb/hostel is and wander around to find things to eat, take a nap, and then eat some more. Today was no exception 🙂

On November 8th, 2019 Joanna and I had our wedding. It was great, people had a good time, I was relieved the wedding planning was over. For those of you that have had to plan a wedding, I’m sure you can relate to the stress of it all.

I had originally left my Friday flexible so that I could get an activity done in the morning then head into the work in the afternoon and work through the evening to coincide with US work hours so that I didn’t have to take a vacation day as I hoard those like a squirrel preparing for winter.

The original plan for the team for this trip was to arrive on Saturday morning and leave to the airport on Thursday night after work. I extended my trip an extra 2 days to leave Saturday night. In order to do that, I had to get manager approval which was an easy sell because my flight was $1000 cheaper than the rest of the team.

I’ve been anticipating this trip to come to our Mumbai office for almost a year and now that I’m here, this entire week has been a blur.
