Mixing Business with Pleasure


I love what I do but there are just times when I REALLY love what I do. Take for example a recent trip to London, Ontario. This city is just great. Hip without the attitude and chic without the snobbery. Great restaurants…check. Lovely hotels...check. Nice people…check. After a day of hotel visits to just a few of the great venues (The Delta London Armouries- originally built in 1905 is a gorgeous venue with great history and The Best Western Lamplighter Inn with it’s stunning tropical atrium had me jonesing for a pina colada) I dropped my luggage of at the hotel metro an uber cool boutique hotel located in the heart of it all. There is something a bit depressing about entering a hotel room and having to accept that it is nicer than your own place…but I got over it quickly while soaking in the giant tub. Now, believe it or not that was the business part. To end the evening listening to Michael BublĂ© live on stage at the John Labatt Centre…always a pleasure.
Special thanks to Tourism London for their generous hospitality. - L
