Apple doesn’t generally do trips. It doesn’t need to. Its brand is so big and so powerful that we’d all write about it anyhow. So, it was quite a surprise - a very pleasant one - to receive a call from said company this afternoon asking me if I’d like to come away with them.
And it’s not just any old ‘away’, either. They want to take me to New York to look at their new store - the Cube - and then, a couple of days later, hop an internal flight to San Francisco. By anyone’s standards, that’s a great itinerary; you don’t often get to see both sides of the country within a few days of each other.
I had vowed never to go to America again, but - well - it’s a work thing, isn’t it. So, regardless of how sparkling those two cities are, I guess that means it’s OK to forego my principles. Just this once.
After a bit of a quiet time for trips, things seem to be picking up. Next week, for the whole week, I’m in Disneyland Paris. I suspect I’ll come home singing that M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E song with a slightly nasal twang and a convincing Gallic shrug.
