We Have Fallen in Love

We arrived back in London this morning at about 4:00 after a very long day of travelling. They practically had to drag us kicking and screaming from California - what an awesomely beautiful state. San Diego is a warm, inviting city that we all absolutely fell in love with.

The convention was a wonderful motivator - full of useful information and amazing success stories. We were especially moved by the story of one gentleman who appears to be in his mid-30's who was being promoted to Regional Vice President. This man grew up on the streetswhere his family lived out of a car. He became involved with a gang at an early age. He was shot once and was not expected to live; he was stabbed 15 times and was not expected to live. Now here he is, earning at least $25,000.00/ month as an RVP. His father was with him to share in this amazing day in his life.

Sunday's keynote speaker was a leadership trainer named John Maxwell who has written several books. He was full of helpful information and was extremely entertaining in the process. It was announced on Sunday that our next convention will be in Charlotte, North Carolina at the end of June. Charlotte is the world headquarters for ACN. The keynote speaker for the convention in June was also announced - Donald Trump. Please make sure to watch the Sunday, March 22 episode of Celebrity Apprentice as it features ACN and our video phone.



















The 4 of us that went together had a wonderful time. On Friday night we took a wonderful 3 hour dinner cruise of San Diego Bay. Saturday night we were exhausted and it was pizza and drinks in our hotel suite. After the conference was over on Sunday, Graham and I took a 3 1/2 hour whale watching cruise. We did see 3 california gray whales. Unfortunately, they didn't do much more than "blow" and arch their backs from the water. We did see a very large school of dolphins and I did manage to obtain some wonderful pictures of them.

On Monday we left San Diego early so that we could drive back to Los Angeles by way of the
Pacific Coast Highway. Again we were able to obtain some marvellous pictur
es.







Especially delightful were the pictures that we were able to get of these precious little ground squirrels which burrow all over the cliffs along the beaches.
