Posting will be light on here for the next few weeks: I’m off traveling, to St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. Basically, see some friends and family in St. Petersburg and then do a tour of the Baltics. Doing such a trip in December might not be the smartest idea, but the timing is convenient and I really need a change of scene. Besides, I miss the snow, and there should be a nice Christmas spirit about.
When I get back I’ll continue with my Managing Contractors in the Oil and Gas Business series, and if the trip proves interesting enough, I might even write a travelogue.
UPDATE
I’m now back in Nigeria, after a very enjoyable trip. There’s plenty to write about, so expect some posts soon.

Green with envy.
Oh, BTW
” Doing such a trip in December might not be the smartest idea”
Great stories often start with bad decisions
Uh-ho, expect turbulences and/or catastrophes in the Baltics: Tim is coming.
[have a quiet, touristy trip! no terrorist plots, no hurricanes, no volcano eruptions!)
seriously? miss the snow?
