1K, London

I know it’s a time for a much needed blog post. I have been so busy the last to months I almost don’t even know where to begin. I have been to London, San Francisco, Chicago and New York all in a week’s time. I always seem to plan to go to two cites a month but then I end up booking more and then before I know it I am totally booked I have to say I am not complaining about getting work or being busy. I actually love every second of it. I am a workhorse. I guess the only down fall is I haven’t had a normal workout routine because I am bouncing from time zone to time zone and its been hard. I am definitely looking forward to the Holidays and seeing family and spending time with friends to start the New Year. I am at the moment on a flight heading back from LA. I literally worked a full day then went to the airport flew to LAX, got off the plane and saw that there was a delayed Chicago flight boarding so I got on it early back to Chicago. I am flying to LA and back to make it to 1k flyer. All my friends think I am crazy because I am not just doing this today but I am doing it again tomorrow and then next week. The perks though to be a 100k flyer are huge. 6 system wide upgrades for international flights is huge and I will be able to save a lot of money. I do not fly that often internationally but now I have the ability to go 3 round rip tickets in business. Anyways, enough of that talk.

I recently went to London with model Mark Kane from Chicago, although many people think we are twins or brothers we are not. We met up with the sexy as fuck Ben Brown in London and he showed us an amazing time over there. I hope that he will come visit Chicago for the Grabbys and IML. Being in London a second time was so much better. It was a lot easier to get around. The first time I had to take the tube to get to my hotel and had 4 different trains I had to take and it was a process. This time it was a straight shot from Heathrow to Trafalger Square. We stayed at a great hotel and actually it was where the Chicago Bears stayed just a week before us when they were there playing. The Hotel staff are huge Chicago Bears fans I guess. Come to find out many people in London are big Chicago Bears Fans. We went to London for our Thanksgiving Holiday and while we didn’t have the full Thanksgiving meal, there was this sandwich place called Pret which I found in NYC last weekend when I was there. They had this sandwich called holiday special and it was turkey with cranberries and stuffing, so it was like a thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. I was obsessed with these. We did have a nice steak dinner but they didn’t really compare to the steak in the states.

I somewhat didn’t see a huge difference in London comparably to the US. It wasn’t a huge difference other than things were a lot older and buildings were not new looking. The music is definitely different in the clubs as they play really old songs with new songs I have never heard of. The weather was great. I think I will return to London for the Hustlaball next year as the London Hustlaball was my favorite out of all of them. I want to do a South America visit for my next trip.
