Well, here we are back together again in Philadelphia. I arrived from New York today on the train, with Omar and Chak Hee and apart from the taxi driver from Penn Station having NO IDEA where he was going and somehow blaming us for that, it was fine. We got here early afternoon and ofContinue reading “The end of the road!”

New York Day 2 and goodbye!
Got a bit behind and so am only writing Friday up tonight- Sunday. Sorry about that, I know you’ve been hanging on the edge of your seats – cough cough. I started off meeting Corey Powell, executive editor of one of the big popular science magazines, Discover. We started off talking about this idea ofContinue reading “New York Day 2 and goodbye!”
Happy birthday Dominic
Well here I am in the Mecca for all 30-something single women who love shopping and restaurants – New York City!! I had a great lunch meeting yesterday and then after that headed back to Manhattan. I got off the Path and walked over to Gramercy Park, where I was supposed to meet Lucy Colback,Continue reading “Happy birthday Dominic”
New York Day 1
Well, I’m in my last city of the trip, and the best has been saved for last – The Big Apple! I arrived yesterday by train from Philadelphia. Checked into the hotel (E44th and 1st) in the early afternoon and went out to get some chores done in the afternoon including laundry (there goes SallyContinue reading “New York Day 1”
Back in Philadelphia for a day
For the first time in this whole trip, I go back to somewhere! I arrived in Philly late last night and checked back into my beloved (haha) Doubletree Hotel. I forced myself to go to bed as early as I could, because of the 3 hour time difference from San Francisco, but first sorted outContinue reading “Back in Philadelphia for a day”
Had a grape time (b’dum tish)
As if to disprove the point I made to Paul in the last post!! Anyway, the bad pun is because this post is about my weekend in Napa. I hired a car in SF on Friday and have to admit I was thinking to myself, what am I doing? I’m in SF with a freeContinue reading “Had a grape time (b’dum tish)”
Northern California Days 1 & 2
Arrived in San Francisco yesterday. A great city and one I hope to come back to with a bit more time on my hands! I’ve met some really interesting people here too, so all-in-all, worth coming! Yesterday I met the Chief Communications Officer of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which was set up by theContinue reading “Northern California Days 1 & 2”
I’m in love!
Sorry, not some great gossip, just the result of my first afternoon in San Francisco! I arrived this morning from Seattle with Omar and then headed out for the first meeting, which was with the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. That was down towards South Beach (and the Giants stadium) so it all felt veryContinue reading “I’m in love!”
The circus
No, not my trip. Not even the US presidential election. I genuinely went to the circus last night – Cirque de Soleil, actually and it was totally wonderful! It’s all acrobatics, dance and music, all very commedia dell’arte. Fantastic from a technical point of view, in the way they put up and take down theContinue reading “The circus”
Seattle Day 3
We had a brilliant day yesterday. Now, if you say Seattle, I bet two things come to mind. Firstly, Microsoft (and we went there on Friday). Secondly, Starbucks. And that’s where we went yesterday. You arrive at the office and it all seems normal – up in the lift to the reception, people coming inContinue reading “Seattle Day 3”
