On the Road

My Current Location: London, England at the Royal Garden Hotel

Damn it! I have to pack once again. We fly to Oslo tomorrow. Who the hell decided 5 am was a civilized hour to round up in the lobby & head to Heathrow!?!

I’ve been blessed to have four non-show days, in London, smack in the middle of a tour. Four days that went quicker than a bloody festival day in the middle of Switzerland!

Four days in a hotel is pretty much like going home. I’ve fully unpacked, taken over the closet and the bathroom looks like I’ve lived here forever. Hell, I’ve spent more time in this hotel than I have at home in the last two months.

Despite the deficit in my per diem and the insurmountable balance on my AMEX - because the internet alone in the hotel is 20 quid a day…. bloody hell! The cost of doing business is all I can say to justify it. But who cares! I’m in London, a city where you can walk every where and at any turn, stumble upon something waiting to be discovered.

A new shop, a cute cafe, unlimited people watching potential. Tube excursions & markets brimming with people in a hurry to spend money. It feels as if no one here works, they perennially shop. Such a fantastic city and it’s exactly what I needed in order to freshen my spirit and finish out this tour.

A means to an end. One must always have a plan B in life - but it’s imperative to keep it secret. So secret, that plan C is unaware of plan B….. know what I mean?

I’m mentally in a good place and despite the lack of direction this diary entry has, it truly is just a day in the life of a woman on tour. So deal with it, embrace it and go with the flow - it’s part of the journey, destination is no longer of importance. Because the ultimate destination will change after every new discovery, after every new experience, so there’s truly no need to set one in stone. And with that, off to the next city & the next country I go!
