The Eurostar journey was nice and chilled out, even though there were lots of children (thanks to the iPod that cut out any ambient noise) and I’ve arrived safe and sound.

Now we’ve got some free time until dinner and I’ve sneaked over to the Internet cafe that’s been setup for us in one of the rooms. It’s great, might even mean I can get a short post in everyday!

Tonight is a somewhat informal dinner for everyone to get together and have some drinks. We’ll get a little speech from the big boss, then we get to socialize and get organised. I ran into my manager quickly, but we haven’t had a chance to talk yet.

I’m already looking forward to Wednesday afternoon when we get a chance to go to Paris on our own! Should be fantastic! Oh and there I was, trying to find out what to do in Paris, killing myself for forgetting to order a book on Paris through work – We’ve been given Time Out Guides to Paris (which we publish) to help us find our way around! I’ll definitely give it a good read before Wednesday!

Alright, time to go join my manager and unpack some boxes! Time to get this conference in gear!

Today was a much-needed slacking off day after a rushed week at work. Unfortunately, the rush isn’t over. Tomorrow, I’m catching the train at 7:08am to get to London and taking the Eurostar from Waterloo direct to Eurodisney, East of Paris.

I’ll be there until Friday evening for my work’s European sales conference. Now that the hard work and preparation is done, it’s time to go enjoy myself, meet all the people I’ve been emailing for years but have never met, and hopefully get a chance to sneak out to Paris for a bit!

We’ll have the Wednesday afternoon free so I’ll hopefully go to Paris, look around according to some recommendations I’ve had from friends and family, and most likely go for a meal with my work team in the evening.

So what this also means is that I’ll be posting less between now and Saturday. We should have access to an Internet Cafe near the conference center where we’ll be spending most of our time so I’ll try to post little updates every couple of days. Once I get back, I’m sure I’ll be posting a few photos , especially if we go into the Disney Park for a bit on Wednesday afternoon!

For now, time to finish preparing my suitcase and get a good night of sleep!
