meeting STA

I hate photos that feature... me; so after yesterdays little meeting of World travellers I thought I'd take the opportunity to upload a photo of Molly (left) and Juliette (right), of STA travel buzz fame, before the group photo of me appears anywhere! This photo was taken after the beer / cider had already taken its toll!

We had a really good day overall (except one very disappointing visit to Bershka - why are baggy jeans not sold anymore?!). We went to the travelbuzz office, met Molly and Juliette as well as some other travellers who are also going to be writing about their experiences of STA and their world travels - Alreet guys!

At the office we kicked back to watch a slick presentation (found HERE) about 'social media' and all that it encompasses, debating some of the finer points whilst eating, and drinking, all the provided snacks and beer we could. After the business was out of the way we went into Covent garden to a lovely little pub to get to know each other better with the social lubrication that is cider! Everyone was friendly and relaxed which helped us to have a really nice afternoon / evening - Sorry you couldn't come George... Maybe after we all get back we can meet up again?!

A quick goodbye (and hello to an old New Yorker who says we MUST visit lower broadway to watch some jazzz - all the young people like jazz nowadays don't they? well don't we?!), speedy underground journey and dash across Euston station and we were on our way home to Birmingham - 3 weeks of work - 6 weeks until flying time!

This photo turned up. Steven + Sun light = sad face.

This one = happiness!
