Back on the Road Again!

So this week the travelling started again after a couple of weeks of being at home.... I suppose I can't really complain though as I got to go to 2 cities that I have never been to and 2 pretty cool ones at that!

First on the road trip was San Diego in California. Now I thought Dallas was outrageously warm for November sitting around 20deg C but I arrived in San Diego and it was a bloody roasting 30deg C. This is now on my top ten list of places I want to move to for this reason only :) Cost of living is way to high but the weather almost makes it worth it!!

Oh and we have a website in the US called Priceline. This is where you can go online, choose the city where you want a hotel, choose the area you want to stay in and then name your price. I ended up getting a room in the Hilton, Downtown San Diego for $100instead of $200, sweet deal!

Anyway, Saturday was planned as a personal day with no work so a mate of mine who lives in LA came down for the night so we could party. We ended up out for dinner and having a few beers....then a few more and, well you know how it ends!!

On Sunday I headed out to my meeting, on the way there I stopped of at Del Mar. As I had packed a case for both the warm of SD and the cold of Boston I didn't have any shorts so I was the weird guy on the beach with jeans on!! The beach there was superb and the views were amazing. Not really as much fun as it could have been if I was not on my own.....

The meeting was held at the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad which is a Spa and Golf resort on the coast. It was nice but I if it was my own money I would have rather stayed somewhere else!!

After the final meeting on Tuesday I headed to the Airport for the journey from hell. I had to get from San Diego (south west US) to Boston (north east US)It took me 8 hours from when I got on the plane in SD to when I got off in Boston!! I can get to London from Dallas in 9!! At least I managed to get first class all the way but that in itself has it's down falls...Bloody Mary's!!!! :)




Boston was really cool but a change in climate from Dallas and SD, it was -6deg C there compared to the 30deg C I had just left in SD.

Most of my time was spent at the trade show but on Wednesday night we did go out and ended up having dinner at the Union Oyster House which turned out to be the oldest restaurant in the USA. The fresh Main lobster was the best I have tasted!!

It has an interesting history which you can read a the link below!

It came to the end of the show on Thursday night and I was so wiped that I got a last minute flight to Dallas and arrived back there at 23:30...So I eventually got home on Thursday night and boy was I ready...


Next trip?? Well As it stands now the next trip will be back London for my visa then back to Glasgow for Christmas and New Year which hopefully will include a trip to Ibrox to watch the good triumph over the evil :)


talk to all y'all soon :)
