| The Leonetti Family - Maggio 2013 |
| The American School of Milan vs. Sir James Henderson of Milan - cross country event. Joe and I were asked to be track stewards - we had to go hang out along the path to make sure kids went the right way vs not ending up in the middle of a rice paddy in Pavia. Joe looked cute, but I was wearing high shoes and all the random people out running thought I was a 'tute. Zaven came in 4th!!! Lastlastlast minute work trip to London on Wednesday and Avalon's 24th birthday!!! Singapore on the 24th of May and London again on the 4th of June. 5 maggio 2013 |
| Because my trip to London was SO last minute, the group who asked me to come facilitate gave me the TOTAL princess treatment, which wasn't difficult considering the venue. Berkshire, UK 8-10 May The Cliveden House |
| The view from my suite. The weather was crap but it was still beautiful. The grounds and facility are amazing - it reminded me of Versailles, and of course it has a very rich English history. |
| The Cliveden House has the BEST customer service. "Ms. do your feet hurt, please sit down and let me rub them...I can carry you to your room." I do love my work very much and am so grateful I can have experiences like this. Next stop Singapore. |
| I Googled The Cliveden House and they did say that there were ghosts from the Astor Family. I asked the staff and they said quietly, "Yes there are ghosts. But not in your particular room." #wtf #doesn'tmakemefeelbetter |
| Cross Country Tournament 11 maggio 2013 American School of Milan There were 5 International Schools attending. All the kids looked like 'kids' then the German school showed up - looking like 35 year olds, hairy, developed, strong....needless to say they stomped - taking 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Regardelss of the Germans, Zaven did great! Zaven is running for 10th Grade Senator check out his election video HERE |
| Singapore 24-28 May It was my first time to Singapore. What a lovely city. The people are just beautiful, warm and friendly. The city is clean, safe, well planned and full of gardens and trees.BUT the heat and humidity is crazy. I don't know how people manage their hair. The session I facilitated went really well - I was super pleased with the results. I am home now, exhausted from the long flights - Singapore to Doha - Doha to Milan. Next business trip London at the end of June. But before that Joe's annual birthday rifugio trek - can't wait! I met up and went site seeing with my HP friend Alex, she showed me all the major landmarks. Loved it! Right: The Merlion lion statue which represents Singapore's original name Singapura. |
| Right: Marina Bay Sands Hotel is amazing. When you swim in the pool (which is on the top ship like floor which spans the three towers of the hotel) it is like swimming in the sky. |
| Dragon Fruit - Durian Fruit - Spicy Crab (not pictured) I loved all the fruit and the ethnic food. |
| I visited Little India. Right: flower garlands to give the Gods on Sunday. Below right: Indian Temple, no shoes and lots of cows. |
| China Town was super interesting. The taxi driver said I needed to try the "Flog porridge," Um, no thanks, I think frogs are becoming a bit endangered, so me eating them isn't helping. |
| One huge highlight was going to my friends,Axel and Monika, for dinner. Axel was my manager in Germany. Right is the view from their balcony on Sentosa Island. Loved seeing them!I |
