Normally business trips for me are quite dull, there's the packing, the journey, unpacking, sitting in a meeting room without windows and then going out to dinner and after a few days packing again returning home, unpacking and recovering.

This time however I'm in Florida in February and although I'm not expecting sweltering temperatures and glorious winter sunshine I get a tornado!

This (http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=73818) happened a quarter of a mile away from my hotel whilst I was in a meeting at Port Canaveral (as in Cape Canaveral). OK it wasn't a huge tornado but definitely not what I was expecting. Helen is in Massachusetts and enjoying loads of snow (but no mountains) at the seminar she is attending!
