US and Thailand 2010: A lazy day
http://gracewing10.blogspot.com/2010/04/saturday-3rd-once-again-i-was-awake.html
US and Thailand 2010. After the success of the last 2 trips to the US I have again been asked to spend some time in the client's office developing new features to their software. By a stroke of good fortune, the timing will allow me to stop in Thailand on the way home to play golf with the guys and 1 girl from my old club. Friday, April 2, 2010. Once again I was awake around 5 and again I did some work for Houston. If I can't sleep I might as well be getting paid for being awake. I play Golf off a ...

Singapore and Canada 2013: Trams, buses and boats
http://gracewing14.blogspot.com/2013/09/trams-buses-and-boats.html
Singapore and Canada 2013. Another year has passed, and once again I head overseas for this year's Mensa conferences. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Trams, buses and boats. Monday (this and adjacent posts are our of order). We had ¾ hour for lunch in the town and after a bit of a wander, I settled for a chicken burger. We had enough time to actually sit down and eat rather than getting a take away. Of 7 or so bridges. The bus stopped in the town again where we shopped for BBQ supplies. Our cabin has a ...

Singapore and Canada 2013: September 2013
http://gracewing14.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Singapore and Canada 2013. Another year has passed, and once again I head overseas for this year's Mensa conferences. Monday, September 23, 2013. Wait a minute - or an hour or a day. It's all over and today we are heading in various directions at various times. It seems 10 of us have flights around 9pm so we'll share cabs to the airport but many goodbyes have already been said. I have spent the rest of the time just sitting in the hotel lobby, doing stuff on the internet and chatting to others from Mensa...

In the end my back 9 wasn't too bad with 16 points - 2 over my handicap. My 18 hole score was still dismal - 27 points, 9 over my handicap.

China and US 2011: April 2011
http://gracewing11.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
China and US 2011. This year I'm taking my holiday on the way to my work stint with a US client. More golf, this time at Mission Hills in China and in Mesquite, Nevada. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Woodforest and flight home. If pebble Creek gave hints about water on the course then it should be blatantly obvious there would be trees on Woodforest. They even warn you twice so you really know what to expect. I wasn't disappointed. They also had water in lakes and creeks as well. I had a steady front 9 with a...

China and US 2011: Augusta Pines

China and US 2011. This year I'm taking my holiday on the way to my work stint with a US client. More golf, this time at Mission Hills in China and in Mesquite, Nevada. Sunday, March 27, 2011. This gave me plenty of time to do some putting and hit a lot of balls on the driving range. I played with a couple both members of Gleanloch and as such they have playing rites at Augusta Pines. Once again I hardly got any medium length putts and I would have had 5 or so that missed by inches. The course has some s...

http://gracewing14.blogspot.com/2013/09/rockie-mountain-high.html
Singapore and Canada 2013. Another year has passed, and once again I head overseas for this year's Mensa conferences. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Some 36 hours after I left Perth and it is still Wednesday. I was finally able to get money out of my account at an ATM after having trouble in the US and Singapore previously. I now know which account type to select and which Pin to use. I did get a couple of hours nap this afternoon and woke up as Vicki returned from the airport with Robert, another house ...
