Hawai'i in Florida?

While I hate to interupt the Spain-love, I depart on yet another trip bright and early tomorrow to Florida. It's a work trip-- because really, why else would anyone want to go to Florida? Okay, okay; I do realize that I'm in the minority here. But, until a few years ago, I could proudly say that I had never set foot in the state (blasted work). But unlike me, people actually like the humidity and spring break crowds and orange people. And besides, why go to Florida when you have family (translation: free room) in Hawai'i?

In any case, my conference is at this place (I know-- why the heck am I complaining? But remember, I work for the man and this conference happens to be for the soul-less of the soul-less of my industry: salespeople. Joy.)-- the
Don Cesar Resort in St. Pete's Beach. That's in Tampa, for those not familiar with it. Apparently it's modeled after the Royal Hawaiian hotel on Oahu... well, they're both pink.

My cousin is so beating me up for this post (hi, Gordon!). He lives in Florida.


So I'm MIA for a couple more days and then I should actually get to sleep in my own bed for more than three days in a row for a couple of weeks, at least. Whoohooo!

There are Ooompa Loompas in St. Pete? Wow....

That would be good. Oompa Loompas. You would see Mikie screaming, running down the streets in terror.

Do you ever stop traveling? Holy cow.

Humidity and spring break crowds and MILDEW! At least from talking to people who have lived there...

I will take humidity instead of earthquakes, smog and fires anyday :)
