Work trip North America
February 1, 2010

Our departure delayed due to de-iceing procedures.

The Frankfurt connection to Seattle is already gone by the time we get there, so we aim to go through Calgary instead. De-icing again...

After another delayed plane and a missed connection, we spend the night in Calgary.

February 2, Seattle - finally.

After a great day of work, we're faced with a dead battery.

A very helpful employee immediately jumps to assist with cables.

Next stop, Vancouver - 7 days to Olympic Games and not enough snow.
