pen_gruntJust a quickish post--I'm fading fast after being up since around 5 a.m. and working til about...now.
I wanted to expound upon the ocean and all the wonderful things you can think (whoa, I just went Doctor Seuss for a second there) while walking along an abandoned white sand beach at night--but it seems trite to put it into words. Maybe I'll type up something later.
We were bumped from the 4 star convention hotel to the 5 star hotel on the beach (and received a $100 hotel gift card--good at the shops and such--for my "troubles")--not a bad trade all in all. The hotel, however, does some funny things. For instance:
--They insist on putting me in a handicapped room, which has been a disturbing trend amongst hotels I've stayed in recently. Do I look "special" or something?
--They lay out two sets of slippers and two robes at night in their turn-down service. I'm in a single.
--They keep moving my pajamas (which were either on the bed or the floor) to different places each day. I found them stuffed in the top of a closet one day, on my nightstand the next, and in the set of drawers another night. It's a fun game--find your clothes. . .
--They keep picking up my other clothes off the floor and folding my dirty socks. This is extremely disconcerting to me.
It's a grand hotel though--ocean view, suite, full kitchen, etc. Overall, one of the nicer hotels I've been at.
Oh, I just found out that I'm going to Palm Springs, CA in February here. Ack!

I'll let you know, though I don't think I'm going to have a lot of spare time on this trip--it bumps up back-to-back with another trip to Buena Vista, FL.
