Trip: London, England
Purpose: Business
Day
2
I’ve
misread my calendar and arrive for my meeting 2.5 hours early. It’s fine though, because they put me in a
nice room with access to drinks and the loo so I’m quite comfortable. Then they start an hour early with me, which
is nice because we have lots to review.
Meetings end at 2pm and I take a taxi back to hotel to drop off laptop
bag.
3pm
– I now have 3 hours to shop.
Disney
Store
Pylones
in the SOHO district – which I bought a business card holder from in 2006 and
fell in love with their artistic designs.
This time I bought a cheese grater, travel mug and ballerina pen for
Charlotte.
Bookstore
– I’m an avid reader of British & Irish authors and my favorite, Marian
Keyes, has just put out a book that’s not out in the US yet. It was so exciting to pick this up and I got
2 awesome books for the kids that cannot be found in the US.
Indian
Food for dinner – I entered a completely empty restaurant at 5pm and having
skipped lunch was ready for dinner. How
lovely to find an empty restaurant with new book in hand! I ordered dinner and immediately became
engrossed in the story through 100 pages before a French couple showed up and
ruined everything with their chatter.
Satisfied that I’d already eaten and had tea I returned to the hotel for
an evening of SKYPE with the family and more reading.
It’s
evenings like this that give me a well needed mom’s night off!
