More travel, CNN follies

[jay]

I now have three different business trips within Europe scheduled between 19 Sept and 3 Oct... four, if one counts Madrid and the Seville area as two different destinations. I'm used to flitting about domestically like this, but not abroad. My best guess now is 19 Sept to Madrid (Astrobiology Institute), 23 Sept to Brussels (brief a joint FAA-Eurocontrol meeting, I just found out about this one), 25 Sept to Rio Tinto/Seville (get muddy whilst drilling), 28 Sept to Bremen (IAF conference), 4 Oct home to California.

Sigh... and all I have time for now is to wrap up three projects here before I head to Devon Island on Friday. After calling me Friday, CNN is sending a team to Devon Island on 20-23 July, and may do some live broadcasts on the 20th. So I definitely need to get a haircut this week...

But it's a lovely place, most of it... I miss visiting home. I felt pangs seeing kudzu growing in Japan...

This is me being envious.

Wish I could bring you with me, but... sigh. BTDT. Actually, I'm trying to get out of doing the Brussels sidetrip, because I want to do more fieldwork (and spending 2-3 days near Brussels airport with JL as company isn't necessarily a good time, or productive ;).

We'll be drilling into a anaerobic underground ecosystem, similar to what we think any existing Martian life might be. It's near Seville, at a two millenia-old mining site.

If I'm allowed to go to Germany, I'll be driving from Amsterdam over to Bremen... if your friend's reasonably near that path, I'd happily make a delivery :-).
