It has been over 2 years since I’ve been back to America. Time is flying, and it was October 2015 when Wendy, Miles, and I had stepped foot on American soil (sounds so obscure!). My daughter Maggie hasn’t even visited yet.
So that is about to change. In February 2018, during Chinese New Year, we are taking the whole family and flying to Florida.
Just Florida!
The last trip we went to San Francisco, New York, Connecticut, and Florida in a month and it was too intense. I’m getting old (joke, well, is it?) but having a wife and kids is a whole new level of complexity. So when booking the flights, we just booked one flight with a connection in Texas and then to Florida. Wasn’t too many connections luckily! I thought it would be 2 or more connections, but there is a flight from Hong Kong to Texas and then to West Palm Beach, Florida.
The one issue is we land at midnight local time. May just have to book a nearby hotel instead of trying to travel anywhere when we arrive.
What is the plan in USA?
here is the basic itinerary:
Friday Feb 2 – get over jet lag, catch up with family in Florida
Saturday Feb 3 – go down to Miami for Carlos’s Amazon FBA meetup
Sunday Feb 4 – Tuesday Feb 6 – relax with family
Wednesday Feb 7 – Friday Feb 9 – Back down in Miami to prepare and host the China Business workshop
Saturday Feb 10 – Tuesday Feb 13 – Relax with family again. My sister in law wants to go to NYC – maybe this is a good time for her to go.
Wednesday Feb 14 – Friday Feb 16 – Fly from Fort Lauderdale to Cartegana, Colombia to meet the new team there and prepare for the Cross Border Summit South America for summer 2019!
Saturday Feb 17 – Sunday Feb 18 – last couple days with family in Florida
Sunday Feb 18 – fly back to China via Hong Kong.
Of course the main plan is to go to see the family. My parents still haven’t met my daughter, so this is much needed family time. But – you know me – I can’t just sit and relax. So we are making a few business initiatives from this
China Business Workshop – Florida – https://www.globalfromasia.com/china-business-workshop-florida/ – we are doing a full on business workshop for doing business in China. Still confirming the venue, but it will be in Florida – a 2 day workshop Thursday Feb 7 to Friday Feb 8, 2018. So much valuable knowledge and content to share with those in America. Will be well worth the investment of those attending to get some information and skip traveling to China and spending weeks – heck – years – trying to consolidate all the knowledge we will jam pack in this 2 day intensive workshop.
Friend Retreat – my friends back home said they’d come down to Florida from Connecticut, New york, New Jersey the next time I was in town as they knew it was very troublesome to travel internationally with a full family. So lets make it happen! Febuarary is a cold time in Northeast america, and its a perfect time to come down to Sunny Florida and get some “retreat” time. Probably on a Saturday, maybe 2 days into a Sunday – this one I need to confirm more.
Para Living Inc, USA business things- gotta get my business partners added to the bank account. Look forward to meeting Jack Pinkerman my partner – hope he can make it down to Florida for a few days and we can catch up. The bank needs me to come in in person and no branches in Hong Kong or China for Bank Of America.
Promote Cross Border Summit 2018 – let’s get some traction going for the Cross border Summit in April – April 20-21, 2018 in Shenzhen China. Meet some of our team in USA, Mea and others, and start to take it to the next level.
Hope to maximize this USA trip. I don’t want to sound selfish – but I hope those who want to catch up and can’t make it to china don’t mind flying over to Florida. I want to spend time with my family, but at the same time do some business networking while in town.
Here’s my flight – Feb 1 to Feb 18 – will be jamming as much into it as I can.
Been over 2 years since I’ve been back – just booked the tickets
