The United States of Lobster (Posted 10years late!)

There wasn't quite this much snow....!
So it's a little late but earlier this month I did the annual pilgrimage to the Sales Kick Off in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on the North East coast of the USA. It is where the entire Sales team from across the globe get together and reflect on the year past and look forward to the year ahead. This is the second time that I am making this pilgrimage and I do enjoy it.......... I still think we need to mix it up though.... I used to go to Miami for the Sales Kick Off every year before that!
Sigh.........!
So because of the crazy costs of flights if you don't stay over a Saturday night a group of 12 of us decided that we were going to spend a weekend in Boston at the end of the trip... I think i am going to tell you about Boston in another post..... Well I have to increase my post count from last year!!! I will tell you that it will be about; Food, shopping, food and more food!

I went Outlet Mall Shopping in Kittery which is in Maine with the team from APAC and OMG can they shop! The GDP of Kittery was surely double in the two days that they made incursions over the bridge into Maine! We had to come back to the hotel to drop off a full lugguage trolley of shopping because the car was full and our kind driver couldn't see out the back! I did go a little crazy and bought some socks and trainers, oh and some shoes, oh yeah and some gloves!
The Piscataqua River, which has the third fastest current in the world!
Obviously we stopped for Lunch and the good folks at Bob's Clam Hut, Kittery hit the Jackpot when 9 of us descended on them and ordered about 30 lobster rolls! They were delicious!
