There's something really sophisticated about sitting in a room surrounded by strangers speaking in different languages. It's like being on holiday and sitting in a hotel lobby waiting for the rest of the group to come downstairs so the days adventure can begin...

This in mind- I clearly need some form of holiday.... a break... a little retreat that means I don't have to sit in an office, with office furniture and lighting and pretend because there is team of Spanish people to my left discussing the recent quarterly report that I am on a fictional holiday.

I should probably aim higher on getaway ideals.

And not book with Ryan Air.

Cough.
