That's how many miles I logged between Wednesday and Sunday.  Needless to say, traveling is hard.  I should be thankful for things like planes and technology.  I couldn't imagine being born in a time with only boats and telegrams.  It's hard to complain about sitting down for 14 hours and showing up halfway across the earth, or using facetime and ipads to talk.  Still, doing the Chicago-Shanghai flight twice in 5 days is rough.  It was nice to get home even just for a few days though.  A little vacation with some coworkers is on the itinerary this weekend, so here's to hoping they kick their tea habit for some pijo (beer).
