Day 2
Day 1
March 25, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Started my day in a posh hotel, which Trump was the keynote speaker for the 10x conference. However, my reality is I was annoyed that there was no coffeemaker in the room so I set out to find decent and cheap coffee. I wondered back to 7-11 and continued on to Walmart where I bought OJ and Processo instead. On the walk back the draw bridge had risen. Worked in the hotel room most of the day except for one brief interlude where I made my way to the beach (it was only 20 degrees). I went back down at 5pm and then meant Melanie in the lobby. We checked out the 10x health section and then walked to R Bistro, a great food establishment about 1.8km from the hotel. Stopped at the 7-11 again on the way back to the Diplomat Hotel (Hollywood) and grabbed coffee and snacks. Once back we were treated to loud music (even on 30th floor). T.I. was preforming for some of the 10x crowd. It was a great day with an early (10:30pm) bedtime.Read more

Day 3
10x
March 26, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Up early with the sunrise and eventually wondered down to the beach to stick my toes in the sand, and find some seashells. I also learned how to make a swan and fortunate cookie from a towel. Found a great cafe called Enjoy a few hotels down the blocks and grabbed some Java there and back to the room to work. Went back down to the beach at noon and decided to go SUP boarding and then back to the hotel to work more and meet Melanie for drinks. We decided to break the rules and sit on the mezzanine (above the pools) as we wanted some sun. Had great conversation and then meet other 10x people from Scotland, Simone and David. We chatted for a long while and decided to go to the 10x Block party together…. To which I had to sneak in. Met John and Anita (also part of the Scottish convoy) and it was a great evening!!Read more

Day 4
Yoga on the Beach
March 27, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Up with the sun again, the sunrises have been so spectacular! Decided to go outside and practice yoga on the deck and let the sound of the ocean be my music.
Returned to my room for work, a board meeting and some breakfast. Made my way back to the lobby at lunch and said goodbye to some 10x friends and went to the conference for a bit before leaving to catch some fresh air. I wanted to SUP again but the rental crew was not at the beach. So I found a favourite spot and called my daughter instead.
Melanie and I eventually made our way to an incredible Indonesian restaurant where we enjoyed the food and conversation with the owner, John. Uber brought us back to the Diplomat Hotel for our final night.Read more
