The Sheriff of Nottingham in the USA – Part Ten – Seattle

I thought today was going to be a write off. The flight up to Seattle should have been a short one at only 1 hour 25, but when it gets delayed an hour and you’re on a tight schedule anyway, its going to be hard to catch it up. But as Seattle was one of our really strong learning cities, as soon as we arrived at the hotel we got straight out again. From the time we checked in, to the time we left, took seven minutes. This was because we are staying next door to the Frank Gehry designed Experience Music Project and we had to see it in close up.

The Sheriff of Nottingham in the USA – Part Nine – San Francisco to Seattle

A cold wet English summer’s day. It’s raining and we’re off to Seattle after breakfast.

The Sheriff of Nottingham in USA – Part eight – San Francisco

Today was a day of Iconography and infamy. Our first call saw me change my name to Cristol. A surprise to me, but my accent is clearly so hard to understand that when I gave my name to the lady behind the counter, she translated John to Cristol.

So lets see whether we can get anywhere near a schedule today shall we? It’s an early start as we have lots to try and fit in, so we’re heading off at 8am, so this has to be brief. First off is a trip over to meet the team at the Golden Gate. A world [...]

Today is our last morning in Los Angeles ad we’ve still got plenty to see before we head off to San Francisco, but as I found yesterday, the planned programme is very much subject to change. Our first visit today is to the Museum of Tolerance.

When we came to Los Angeles, I was staggered by the size of the place, I doubted we had a chance to get a handle on the city in such a short space of time, but today has proved that wrong. Completely wrong. When they say the whole world is a stage, what they fail to tell you is that most of the actors are here. It’s a city of big characters, grand gestures, enormous wealth and incredible showmanship.

The Sheriff of Nottingham in USA Part three

The first full day of our trip and a busy schedule to start with. I’m still reeling with jetlag, but here’s how the rest of the day is shaping up, but its still subject to change, if more direction comes in from the people we are speaking to here and at home.

The death of the Spanish brand

Spain has completely trashed its brand values. It has stamped all over them and probably ruined them forever. Unless they can rebuild their business case with far fewer visitors and go back to their original values, their situation will get worse and worse and worse.
