Sun, 01 Jun 2008 @ 05:10 || Orlando || Work

Got into Orlando yesterday afternoon. Beth and I met up with one of my consultants and we checked into the resort. This place is very nice, I'm impressed. I wish we had been using resorts like this the past few years. This one is cheaper than the crappy hotels we had been staying at. It almost makes me want to look into timeshares myself, we got these condos via a time share trade via one of the consultants.

We have 4, 2 bedroom condos for the week, at about 2/3 the price of 4 hotel rooms at a best western. We booked these a while ago when it wasn't clear how many of us would be attending the conference. I was still unsure if I was bringing the family again, and one of the consultants was planning on bring his wife. Turns out my kids didn't get out of school in time and his wife dislikes Orlando. So between the 4 condos we only have 5 people. We got lucky and all 4 condos are attached or next to each other, we have the two first floor and two second floor units on top of each other, the back porch of my condo has stairs down to the one below me and a cat walk to the one next to me, all enclosed in screening.

4 of us are here now, with the 5th flying in this afternoon. We went out for dinner at Landry's Seafood House, where I ordered a cheese burger. Afterwards we hit a liquor store and drank beers on the condo's back porch.

I'm headed to the conference hotel in a few minutes to register and spend Sunday in the Partner meeting and a VoiCE session, I doubled booked myself, hopefully I can bounce between meetings.
