Arrival in London for Collaboration University this week

While I arrived on time after a nice strong stroll through O'Hare, my luggage was not as lucky and had to catch the next flight.  But I was pleasantly surprised by the Turtle Partnership when my room was ready.  A wonderful bag of snacks.  Let's make that large sack.  Some favorites and some things I think they will force me to try.  it included:

  • Walkers chips- Salt & Vinegar, Cheese & Onion, Prawn Cocktail.  While I know I like the salt and cheese option, the idea of small sea things on my chip makes me raise and eyebrow
  • Hob Nobs- nice biscuits with chocolate.  Of course, they list energy on the can instead of the word calories
  • Jaffa Cakes - once again sports enthusiasts seem to like the calories
  • Nestle Quality Street - cool assortment of candies
  • Bassett's Jelly Babies - soft jelly candies
  • Hartley's Blackcurrant Jelly - cool, a new jelly (gelatin) for the kids
  • Marmite - yes, spread very thin on toast and enjoy (I learned while in KC how to do it properly)
  • Prince's Corned Beef - passing this one on as I don't eat beef but like the little can
  • Robertson's Golden Shred - orange marmalade, darn right!
  • Heinz Baked Beans and Cream of Tomato Soup - one with pop can lid and one without.  I like em both
  • Cadbury huge milk chocolate bar - 250g worth.  Damn I love chocolate
  • PG Tips pyramid bag teas.  This is a new "shape" in the US for teabags.  This will get well guarded and good use as I am a tea drinker
  • Lastly, a comic book.  I needed some new reading as I finished off the book on the way over that I bought at the airport.

So huge thanks to Gab, Mike and Tim over at the Turtle Partnership for a warm welcome to a tired soul
