London Bound

So tomorrow, I am getting on a jet plane and flying to the London Office where I am to spend a week visiting AV and Print vendors and observe how the London operation works. I am very excited. I haven't been to the London Office since switching companies. The biggest difference is that the old building no longer exists. The entire operation has moved to a city that is on the outskirts of London. So I am visiting a whole new building with about 200 employees. I have secretly always wanted to live in a foreign country for about 6 mos to a year. Just cuz we were born in a certain country doesn't mean we have to stay in it. I have always been a big believer in getting out to see the world you live in. Luckily this past year or two I have been given a couple of opportunities to go see that world. I am very greatful to get to go on this trip with budget cuts and all. But like all business its all about the wheeling and dealin. Somehow I won. I tried not to get too excited because most times my trips get cancelled so this time around I really expected not to go. But I am all ticketed, the hotel is book and things are looking good (I think). That living overseas thing I thought would be cool in London. I have been to London now many times but the visit is always really short. Sometimes a few days but most a few hours. So it will be cool to spend a whole week there to see if it would really be a city I would want to live in. After seeing Paris earlier this year I think Paris may be gaining on London. Anyhow, I am off to London and I am going to catch up with the people who I met in Austria last year as they will be in London at the same time. I like how the world is small really....Finally, I am taking Reese Peanut Butter cups with me as I hear there is a short supply and really hard to get. Hopefully, I will be like ET and this American Alien will come bearing peanut butter treats in peace. Who knew the key to world peace was peanut butter.
