Thankfully, there were no problems with my bags. A concern, since I had not seen them since Saturday afternoon. Glad they were aboard. QVC had provided a driver, which took me to my small, but nice Una Hotel. I showered and got ready for work. Full suits are the attire here in Italy. The hotel hailed me a cab which took me to my final destination, QVC-Italia.
Once there I met with all of the folks that I have been emailing with, Gregg, Cele, Mattias, and Steve. I also met John Thomas for the first time. He is the guy who gets start ups started for QVC. He was very gracious and really showed me around the place.
I was shown detailed drawings of the set, I met with the set designer and human resources, and got my office set up. OK, I can't see the Italian Alps from my window, but at least I have a window which provides me a view of an upper middle class neighborhood in Cusano Miliano (a Milano suburb.)
After arriving at about 3pm, work was over in time to catch the 7:48 S4 train back into Milano.
Once in the hotel, I changed and went for a walk. I am right in the center of Milan within a brief walk of the famous Sforza castle and Duomo cathedral.
After checking them both out, I sat down for my first meal in Milan. A plate of Spaghetti Marinara at a street side cafe'. It was great!
OK - off to video chat with my family.
