As I write this I am 2 hours into my first flight from Winnipeg back to Aotearoa via Vancouver and Sydney. That is 3 + 16 + 3 hours, with 9, er, 8 hours in Sydney. This is towards the end of my month of travel: 5 weeks, 3 tournaments (consecutive weekends), 2 conferences (2 days at each), 1 judo course (6 days). Now I have my last two months in Aotearoa before teaching starts in Winter term, which I can devote mostly to research, with just a bit more teaching prep.
