Leaving Los Angeles
If you’d asked me 10 years ago if I wanted to got to Los Angeles or what I thought of Los Angeles I wouldn’t have had much to say. I’d never been there and after 9/11, I’d pretty much written off the US as a holiday destination. Then in 2006 came the offer of a whirlwind work trip to Los Angeles.
