Up at 4 A.M.

Woo, I made it to Boise, Idaho by getting up at 4AM to catch my airport shuttle at 5AM, to get to the Oakland Airport at 6:15 AM, to hop on a flight at 7:40 AM, touched down in snowy Reno at 10 AM Mountain Time and landing in Boise at 11AM MT. Got lunch at 12 noon, checked into my hotel, rested, got ready, did my site visit from 2:30-5PM, got dinner. Woo. Tomorrow I will drop off my rental car at 5AM, get on a plane to Cheyenne, Wyoming at 6AM, change planes in Denver at 8AM, land in Cheyenne at 9:35 AM, get my rental car. Get brunch and then head to my site at 12 noon. Hopefully I'll finish by 3PM. Drop off my rental car and catch a plane home at 5PM, change planes in Denver at 5:33, land in Oakland at 9:46 PM, catch an airport shuttle home, take a shower and crash into bed around 11:45 PM Pacific Time. This is the life of a Clinical Research Associate on some days, traveling days. Like Tammy says, I don't know how I do it. It's a carnival life sometimes.
