I am writing this from beautiful Florida! I had the privelege of attending a conference for work in Orlando. It has been an experience. I have to admit, I don’t think I could get used to being a traveler. Even with the layover on the way, the butt was numb by the time I landed. I didn’t really sync up the travel plans to maximize my time here. The original plan was to have Mer come join me after a day and we would stay a couple of days later and fly back together. The hotel exterior and interior were oustanding (the room was average).
Due to lack or financial forsight on my side and taxes taking out more of my cashed out vacation time that I had hoped for, we decided not to book Mer a week before going. 
Though with Mer, this adventure would have been really good, I settled in ok. The conference schedule began Monday afternoon and will end Wednesday afternoon. I got a chance to meet some people (but oddly enough, no one from my same field) as well as get to hang around some other employees from Salem Hospital. It was nice getting to know them more as well.
The conference I attended was primarily focused on getting a good patient satisfaction response from customers. The sessions I particularly enjoyed were around how to interpret data and one final one today around the outpatient area. Looking forward to spending more time focusing on trying to give a better impression to our patients that come through.
I just checked into my flight for tomorrow. I have a front row seat! I am not sure if that is good or bad. I’ll find out, I should have opted for the exit aisle (it was open).
As I am writing this, there is a lobby filled with very happy, boisterously singing people. It makes me miss singing a little. I did have a shot tonight at karaoke on the Univeral Studios City Walk. They had reserved the end of the walk just for conference attendees. Free food and drinks and lots of music. If I had known any of the songs all the way through, I would have tried my first karaoke. Maybe when I go to Japan.
Where was a fun place that you have traveled to for work?
