Alison and I flew out of Heathrow on British Airways at 11.00am and arrived in San Francisco at 2.00pm local time. In actual fact it was 11 hours later! We spent an interesting two days exploring San Francisco and acclimatising before heading north about 50 miles to the Santa Rosa area where my first client lives.

Peter has been on his travels again, visiting both New York and Cincinnati and this time took the opportunity to take along his partner Alison.

This made for a slightly more relaxed trip than usual, with Peter visiting four clients to set up their Sondek LP12 turntables, which included fitting Harban plinths, Linn Radikal Urikas and a Tiger Paw Tranquility.

After a busy year of visits abroad looking after clients LP12s, Peter made his last three trips of the year, one to Hong Kong and two to the United States before settling back into work at home in the UK visiting customers to set up LP12 turntables and installing and upgrading systems.

As many of you will have doubtless been aware, over the past few weeks Peter and Tom have been State side visiting a number of friends and new clients cross the USA. Their two week tour took them across America from Phoenix to New York with a few stops in between.
