    初到长岛

    从旧金山做夜航到纽约的时候已经是纽约当地时间早晨6点半了,美国就这点麻烦,一个国家有四五个时区划分,从西到东旅行还得不断调整时钟和生物钟。
    1月15日正是美国东北部寒流来袭的日子,我们降落时很明显的感觉到很强的气流活动,飞机在空中不断的颠簸,大概发生了20多次不规律失重,在降落后,机长幽默的说,大家马上就可以下飞机找个地方呕吐或者购物了:-)
    由于大雪,从肯尼迪机场到长岛Glen Cove大概20英里的路程走了将近40分钟,路上积雪很厚,但是车辆很少。车辆配备了一台先进的GPS导航系统,印度裔的司机不断向我炫耀说,这个机器如何聪明,如何精确。当我告之他终点的路名和门牌后,系统给出一个完整的路线图,并且会根据司机的临时调整作出改进,在每次转弯之前会有非常详细的提示“400英尺后右转”,而且有个矩阵沙漏示意图,当沙漏结束时正好时路口。这个东东不错,据说需要5000美刀,在中国的话,如果便宜,将来我也得买一个,方便。
    到了长岛的酒店,还是很早,整个长岛还在沉睡,白雪覆盖了整个路面和建筑,很安静。酒店是一个庄园,很大的草坪和砖红的老房子。房间很舒适,我虽然整夜没睡,但是由于时差缘故,也不是很困。于是尝试做了一会online training, 发现很繁琐,迅速产生睡意,一下在从下午两点睡到9点半,而且错过了欢迎晚宴。只好自己随便吃了些东西,在网上晃了晃,接着睡。
    这里的夜很安静,睡梦中恍恍忽忽,不断的提醒自己,好好睡,不然明天的15个小时培训可不是挠着玩的。我还在这个安静的岛上呆两个礼拜,看来公司明智啊,如此的环境确实让人很容易专心到一些无聊的事情上来,因为除此以外的事情更加的无聊:-)
