It's been about three weeks since I last posted. Since then, quite a bit has happened. We made it back from our round the world trip safely. This said, our transit through Lagos was not the easiest. In fact, there is no 'transit' per se in Lagos. They make you go through the full arrival procedure and then check you back in. If your transit time is long... have fun. We had a fifteen hour layover. Ultimately, it all worked out and we flew on to Madrid and back to Geneva.

After a quick three day hugfest with our families, it was off to Barcelona and Atlanta. Here again, the surprises kept coming. Here's what happened. I decided to leave Gilles back in Annecy to get moving on other aspects of the project and to take Caroline with me. Her passport was not valid for the US. So she got an emergency passport made which was supposed to be acceptable. To cut a very long story shot, when we got to the airport in Barcelona, we were flying KLM from there to Atlanta, KLM told us she could not get on the flight. This happened literally as the check in counter was closing. So we had to make a crazy decision... I would fly on to Atlanta alone. Not great when I was flying there for an important interview with John Seffrin, CEO of the American Cancer Society.

Fortunately it did work out. The interview turned out to be one of the best of the trip. So was the Barcelona interview with Dr. Baselga. Both men were brilliant and warranted the extra trip.

Since then, for the past two weeks, I have been editing away. The rushes are great but there is so much footage. It's really a race against the clock now. Add to this crushing feeling an additional trip that I have decided to take to India. As most of you will recall, India had to be omitted from the previous round the world tour. I am not one to be defeated this easily and after meeting and filming Dr. Ketayun Dinshaw, Director of the Tata Memorial Center, I am convinced I must go. So June 23rd I will be in Mumbai.

Just so you don't think I'm sitting around doing nothing, tonight we drive up to Paris to interview a well-known French politician, P. Douste-Blazy. We'll be asking him about cancer in France as well as the new Canceropole they are building in Toulouse; he is also the mayor of Toulouse.
