The story of this trip is travel. And I am starting to feel it. Although I test negative to COVID, I have a wicked cough and heavy chest. If I was home, I&#8217;d be home. But I&#8217;m 15,000Kms from home and need to get some stuff done. So I head off for the 90 minute flight to meet with colleagues at the CNIB &#8211; Canadian Institute for the Blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John their CEO, and I hit it off straight away. A cricket and rugby loving Pom, starved of good cricket and rugby in North America, John is eager to talk sport. In between all the sport talk we get a lot done and share our experiences, I undertake a full tour of the site, meet a number of staff and talk a lot about our commercial activities. I spend time with their library team, alternate format and their retail team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a full afternoon of meetings a few of us go out to dinner, where we talk international politics, and the politics of Canada, as well as a fair amount of sport. Its a great night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I return exhausted to my hotel room, pondering what to do with my last day in North America tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"16452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-248.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-248.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-248-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"16451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-247.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-247.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-247-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"16453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-249.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-249.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-249-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"16455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-251.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-251.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-251-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"16457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-253.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-253.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-253-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"16458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-254.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-254.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.linke.com.au\/TB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2023CSUN-254-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another early start, another flight, another two airports.
