No Florida Trip

Well, I was supposed to go to Naples, FL for a business trip on Tuesday. Needless to say...cancelled due to hurricane. I was looking forward to a few days beach-side, even if 99% of the days would be spent working. I'd at least have about a half hour per day to swim, and a lovely view from my window. Instead, the poor woman who sits next to me at work, our company's events planner, is frantically looking for a new place for this meeting.

Today is Friday.
Meeting starts Tuesday.
Some people due to fly out on Monday.

So, it looks like this meeting may end up being NOT on the lovely beach in warm Naples, but off the lovely [sic] Thruway in NEW JERSEY. Gagh. Bleh. Aargh.

Those of you familiar with the NJ Turnpike will understand my disappointment. Those from Europe - it's sort of like moving a meeting from Nice, France, and instead holding it in an office park in Slough, England. Not that there's anything wrong with NJ, or Slough, but it's certainly no Naples/Nice.

This is the hotel where I was supposed to go: http://www.laplayaresort.com/

Sigh.
