So I am staring my vacation down right now but I still had a final trip to make last week. We are in a dangerous place with our largest customer. Recently, we have made a lot of production errors and combining with the fact that the customer is dropping suppliers in July we are on thin ice. That meant my boss and I ran off to Bangkok to wine and dine and have a meeting to convince our customer that we have a handle on things. 
As the post below shows, I was dreading this. But the meeting went much much better than I expected and my last few trips paid off in building a personal relationship with the customers so that also helped this time.
Then we ran off to a series of meetings in Cambodia. And we spent a night there. I was able to relax a bit after a late dinner but the problem was we had an urgent price proposal to get to a telecom. That necessitated that I had several Skype confrence calls from 2 airports and had numerous text messages between me and Taiwan on Saturday to finish it all. 
All in all, the trip was quite good. We are still in a dangerous place in Thailand but we have some promising leads in Cambodia.
