Tanegashima -> Kagoshima -> Haneda -> Narita -> Cancelled Flight -> Vancouver -> Las Vegas -> CES

Ack. Ack. Ack.

First post of the new year. Left the kids in Tanegashima 🙁 Will miss them.
Spend the day making my way to Tokyo (with 90KG of luggage) only … to have the flight cancelled. Nice.

Miss my connecting flight to Las Vegas, stay in a crappy hotel and now on my way to airport to *hopefully* catch a flight.

Umm…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Last Month in Japan

As many of you know by now, we are preparing to leave Japan.

Both our children were born here and it has been more than 5 years since we have lived anywhere else.

Lots of people to say goodbye to, and things to finish before we go!

WIll update more soon…

David back in Toronto… us back in Canada?

For the first time since joining AMD, I had a business trip to Toronto. (For those of you in the know, AMD purchased ATI [Canadian Graphics Company] 3 1/2 years back.)

While I can’t go into the details just yet (doesn’t the title say it all?) it gave me a chance to catch up with some some old friends.

For those of you who I didn’t contact, here is my schedule for the last 13 days.

Tokyo → Toronto → Tokyo → Austin → Tokyo

Priority was given to those who made the trek out to see me 🙂 (Sorry!)

(You didn’t know I was back? Check out facebook or twitter.com/debicha1979)
