Second two weeks of October
Strange.
Like many authors, my travel schedule is erratic. I go weeks or sometimes a month or more without having to get on a plane or even a car for school visits or conferences.
Yet three times in the past four years, I've been away for work for two weeks straight.
And all three times, for no discernible reason, have been the second two weeks of October (which so happen to be my favorite two weeks of the year to be in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic).
In 2008, I was in San Francisco and Ohio (mostly Cleveland).
In 2010, I was in Houston.
In 2011, I was in Guam.
The second two trips were similar in a way beyond the heat. Both were completely organized for me by my kind hosts, from scheduling each school to arranging volunteers to pick me up for and drop me off after each engagement. All I had to remember to do was set my alarm and bring my flash drive.
Being away on speaking tours for fourteen days is both a rush and a challenge for obvious reasons, but in each case, my hosts have made the experience as rewarding as possible.
