My journey begins…

23 November 2009

I don’t leave for China for another week yet, but today I leave my home, and Mike, for the first leg of my trip.

I am flying to Phoenix to see my Mom, and to have an early Thanksgiving dinner with her. Then Wednesday I fly to Chicago to meet Steve face to face for the first time. And the next Tuesday, December 2nd, I will take off for Shenzhen, China, where I will spend the next 3 months.

I am very excited, and also a bit nervous. For someone who spent nearly a year hardly ever leaving his apartment except to go to work and back, leaving home for 3 months is huge (well, OK, I suppose 3 months in CHINA is pretty huge for anyone. ;) ).

I am already missing Mike, and I’m still sitting next to him. There’s no way I can keep it together enough to do a video.

But I’m set up with remote PC access, and a remote Webcam program, and a seperate Skype account, so I’ll be able to keep in touch with my housesitting neighbor, and look in on Mike whenever I want.

And I’ve got Slingbox, so I can even watch my TV over there, so I won’t be missing all the comforts of home.
Still.

But this is also hugely exciting. I’m going to be going to a new country, learning new things, having new experiences, it’s going to be GREAT! ANd I’m going to have a chance to get directly involved with making our product better. I am thrilled about this trip, and very thankful to Steve for giving me this opportunity.

Anyway, I’m going to try hard to keep up daily blog posts. Not always video, but I’m going to keep you all posted on my journeys and adventures. I hope to give you a behind the scenes look at the e-cig world. To bring you along as I tour the factories, learn how these toys of ours are made, and generally draw back the curtain for a peek.

But that’ll start next week.

For now, I’ve got an airport shuttle to catch. ;)

Safe travels! enjoy the trip, return home safely and without incident

Have a safe journey and I'll pray for your safe return! One of my best memories of the Army was my tour in Korea(Aside from the 90 day DMZ trip) The people were mostly very kind but watch your back and stay out of dark alleys ;) I would say enjoy your flight but I know 13+ hours in a tin can is no fun.....

At least he'll be stealth vaping to make it go much easier!!
