GG is going back to Beijing to start 2010
This marks the first entry of my 36 day adventure away from Austin. This will be the longest consecutive stretch of time I will have been away from home (not including the detour to the frozen tundra) since I moved to central Texas a good while ago. Right now I am a bit nervous, really excited, and hopeful about all of the productive tasks I will accomplish. I just checked the weather and with the wind chill it’s right above zero degrees (Texas style) where I will be. Thursday, 12-31, I board a 6am United flight for a trip to San Francisco. I’ll spend new year’s eve in Sacramento and the next night in San Francisco. at 1:50pm on January 2, I get on a plane for a short 12 hour direct flight to Beijing. At 5:55pm on Sunday, January 2, Beijing time I arrive. The time difference is 14 hours ahead.
I pledge to take lots of photos and video and post both up on this site throughout the adventure.

Ok Greg, will hold you to it… Looking forward to pics and stories. You are awesome!
