Boston area

I don't know how long I'll be working on this project here in the Boston area. I've been traveling here weekly now for the past 3 weeks. The flight time is about 4 hours. Add the commute from home to the airport plus the driver to the hotel (in Boston) and it takes me at least 6 hours each way.

I did not expect much from the hotel but I was pleasantly surprised with the view from my room. I could see the Charles River from my room. I can also see the kayak and canoe rental place from my room. This would be a neat idea if I'm able to bring my wife and kids in the summer.

Dallas

I had a week's rest at home after arriving from China. Thereafter, I was sent to work on a project in Dallas for 4 weeks. It's been a couple of years since the last time I worked there. After several flights to and from Asia, Dallas is such a short hop from Houston (45-minute flight) that even in first class, only drinks are served - no food at all.

This is the view from my room at the Renaissance Richardson. The building to the left is a newly-built series of condominiums. The area is quiet and would be perfect for someone who is single or as a starter home.
