First Try

Ok, here is my first attempt at establishing a Blog.
I am in the middle of a boring weekend sitting here in the Uk on my second weekend of a 4 week trip to Europe.

Background: I am a 51 year old American and I run a division for a mid size chemical company. My business is in 7 countries around Europe and as you might imaging I do a lot of traveling.

My wife and I have lived here in the UK for the last two years but have recently moved our base back to the US. We are evaluating the situation and where we might move next in Europe, but for now we will continue being based in the US. As you might imagine this will require quite a bit of traveling and right now I am in the middle of my first long haul trip.

The last two years have been interesting being based in the UK. Traveling every week in Europe at least allowed me to return home to my wife on the weekends. Now I will be gone up to three weeks at a time and being a homebody this will require me to make a giant step out of my comfort zone. I am hoping this blog will allow my family to keep track of me as well as help me document the challenges of being a long haul commuter.
