Playing catch up again....

I left Orlando on the 20th, and made my way to Columbia, MD for a few days. I needed to spend some time in the corporate office to attend some meetings and things. I'm home now, and utterly exhausted! I'm tired to the core. Pretty wimpy, considering most people that do my job are gone longer than I ever am.

Here are some pictures from Orlando - I had such a great time!! I leave on Tuesday morning, bright and early, to go to Connecticut for a week or so. I'm sure that trip will be interesting...hopefully I'll have some good stories!! Thanks for visiting! Hopefully it won't take me too long to write again soon!

I got to see this just about every day... There were water taxis in between the City Walk, and the other two hotels. So - when dinner was at someone else's "house" - we'd take a water taxi past Universal to meet up with them.

Mitch, Deb and Emily came down to Orlando for a weekend. It was so much fun!! We went to Sea World!!

I think this is Shamu's baby. I was so depressed to hear that there are like 15 Shamus. I was a little upset though - didn't even get to see one of them!! Oh well - next time!

Emily was giving us directions. She thought she was so cool with her Tigger hat on!

Okay - it was hot, so don't make fun of Mitch's sweaty pits!! I LOVE this picture!

Did you guys see that?!

She was flirting with someone, I think!

Hi Aunt MinnyMax!!

I almost died a few times while in Orlando. This horrible rash showed up about a week before I left. It itched like crazy!! But - a nice security guy would come and put ointment on it every morning for me. He was pretty cute, so I was okay with that! I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and my doctor determined that it was poison oak. Hmm...interesting.

This is about three days after I cut my leg shaving (yes, embarrassing). I cut it so badly that it didn't stop bleeding for about two days. My co-workers told me that slitting my ankles is a slow way to die! Haha.

I had a friend (Jeff) come visit me in Orlando. He's another installer, so he knew everyone there. We had a great time - but they managed to get me a little bit intoxicated. Seems he always gets me drunk....

This is how the boys started off their night (I passed on this one). Anyone heard of Absinthe?! I kept calling it Abstinence. You know it's bad when the bar tender warns you against drinking it!

This is me and Jeff at Pat O'Brien's at CityWalk. After three hurricanes, he would've taken a picture with anyone!

Here is the Loews Universal Orlando team (minus one person). We had such a great time, but we were sad to see my training room turned into the "War Room". It was actually pretty cool - they turned it into a jungle and had army "stuff" all over the room! This room was the central location for our cutover process to take them from the old system to the new system.

This is everybody (plus our favorite interface technician), the night before we all left. Oh, how I miss them all already!

One of the many beautiful passage-ways at the Royal Pacific Resort. I was a little sad to leave.

The Hulk ride at Islands of Adventure. My hair was HUGE when I got off this thing!!

My hotel had the best fountain-thingy. The elephants became my best friends. I loved hanging out with them at night.

My parting gift from the hotel. They gave me a plaque-type thing with a picture of all three hotels and their key cards. Most of the employees there signed a piece of paper saying farewell (more like telling me to stay away from green skittles), and they also sent me a chocolate cake. It was SO GREAT!!
