Another week of travel but this time with a difference as I started Sunday morning with the short shuttle flight to London Euston followed by the very long flight (in Economy!) to Los Angeles for a week of meeting new people and visiting some of our stores.
I forgot what an overwhelming experience it is landing at LAX and attempting to get to the car hire locations – truly an attack on the senses.
The early part of the week was pretty intense and full of meetings but our location down in Orange County did mean some epic driving to and from the office and the opportunity to get dinner in Laguna Beach (I missed sunset by about 5 minutes).
Mid-week meant travelling back up towards LA via several of our stores and an encounter with the legendary LA traffic – fortunately we got in to the city in time for a bucket list trip to watch the Los Angeles Lakers where they just pipped the LA Clippers in overtime thanks to a legendary performance by Lebron James.
