LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM :: Until now, my business trips have been confined to Canada, Mexico and the United States, where most of our market exists. We have implementations all over the world, however, and this week I finally had the opportunity to visit some of our clients and prospects across the pond in London. Our meetings were very productive and it was great to meet the UK team. I had never been to Britain before, so of course, I took advantage of every opportunity between our meetings to try to see something new.
We stayed in the
Hotel Russell in Central London's Bloomsbury neighborhood and traveled by taxi, train and tube - all extremely easy and efficient. An American would need to have a death wish to drive a rental through London's extremely narrow and spidery network of backward streets. We simply don't have the skills.
London was a lot of fun, business meetings included. Nice people, incredible city, great history. I only had a chance to see a few sights, and all of them very briefly. Most of these photos were taken during an early morning walk I took around the city on the morning of our return flight. All of them were shot with my new
G10, which produces some pretty decent images and has been very easy to carry around.
At Heathrow, we were able to enjoy the
Concorde Room in Terminal 5. Very, very posh! We also did some shopping in the airport's high-end mall. I brought home a
Paddington Bear for Kristie, along with a storybook. I gotta admit, we're addicted now. We were surprisingly taken by the adventures of the Peruvian bear, and now every night we look forward to sharing another chapter together.
