say goodbye to hollywood
The Montage pool by night - from my balconyI am a little late with the diary today/tonight/yesterday/tomorrow/this afternoon/this evening (choose depending on time-zone) ... just tiring rapidly as we come to the end of the LA show.
Yesterday was a rush ... first up a visit to the Karen Lynne Gallery on Canon Drive. Some beautiful pieces here ... I even, erm, bought one ...
Then two GM interviews, the delightful Medhi Eftekari of the Four Seasons, Beverly Hills and then Jack Naderkhani of the Raffles L'Ermitage -- who it has to be said was highly instrumental in making this trip "work"!
We checked out of the Pen by around 2 pm .... with the lovely Trish waving us off, hanky in had ... and we drove the 2 hours (56 miles) south to Laguna.
Ask anyone in California, where is the beast beach resort in the state and they will all say ... The Montage, Laguna ... and that's where I am!
Laguna is in Orange County (The OC - according to Alex) ... and is one of the most affleunt parts of the State. It's a haven for artists - I will find more about this tomorrow - restaurants and shopping. The resort itself ... well, I am discovering that today.
Before we went to sleep last night, we interviewed James Bermingham (GM) ... an Irishman who doesn't play golf BUT smokes cigars and Carol Leenerts - (Concierge) ... more on them later too...
It's 5.30 a.m. ... I am off to start filming!
Song of the Day: Say Goodbye to Hollywood (Billy Joel)
Weather: perfect!
