Traveling is good because I have the opportunity to meet people face–to-face that I have email and phone conversations with on a daily basis. Plus the extra added bonus of visiting new cities and beautiful NIKE showrooms filled with the latest and greatest product. I have the opportunity to view styles that will be hitting your local stores about 6 months in advanced!!!
Traveling is bad because I can’t take my family with me. Usually these trips are so fast, jammed packed with work, and during the middle of the week, that makes it pretty impossible to enjoy a family trip.
This trip I was able to visit the Boston showroom and then also the New York showroom.
We flew out of Portland Airport at 7:00 AM, meaning I had to leave my house in Newberg about 4:30 AM (and I’m not a very good morning person)….. The best thing about this flight was that I had an entire row of seats to myself. I was able to lie down and sleep for about 3 hours of a 4 ½ hour flight. We landed in Boston about 3:30PM East Coast time.
The following day was a very busy and long day. Not adjusting to East Coast time yet, I stayed up until midnight Sunday night. We were in the Boston showroom at 8:00 AM the following day, worked all day and then caught a train to Penn Station New York.
When we arrived in New York (about 8:00 PM) we walked outside the train station and felt an incredible energy.
The next two days were very busy with work, but we were able to complete what we set out to accomplish. The trip was very successful and enjoyable at the same time!!!!
