Delaware - "The First State" - Nothing great, don't care what Della wears anyway. Don't plan on going there for vacation. Spent a week in Newark. Maybe there is something worth going there for, but I didn't find it. However I had to fly into Philly....but sadly, didn't have time to check any of it out.
Kansas - "Sun Flower State" - Didn't see a single sunflower the whole trip. I spent my time in Overland Park. I felt it was a wasted trip. Fly in late, work the next day for 8 hrs, drive back to the hotel and fly home early. $1500 dollar flight for something that could have waited another few days and had a local rep drive there for $30 in gas. But hey, at least I have job security. Kansas City, MO yes Kansas City, Missouri that is where the airport is. Love it when a city is split into two by a state border. Still strange being Kansas City, you would think it would reside in just Kansas.
Florida - "Sunshine State" - Not alot of sunshine while I was there. I spent 2 straight weeks there, and every day it was cloudy and thunderstorms. Normal for this time of year. I had to cover in the office for a few people while they were out for maternity leave. It was good times. I can't complain. My hotel was located on the beach in Melbourne, FL. Yet I never set foot in the sand! HOW GREAT IS THAT! Not that I didn't have time, I had the whole weekend to do it. But I decided to do other stuff. I will be going back in October for another 2 weeks. Maybe it won't be as hot and humid. I did get evacuated from the hotel :( about 1:30 AM the fire alarm started going off, scared the crap out of me, and still being half asleep, I tried answering the phone, my cell phone, tried to figure out how to turn off the alarm....then I woke up completely, I am on the 8th floor, 8 flights down is pretty easy. There was an actual fire in my hotel. We had to stand across the street for 2 hours!!! It was just in the kitchen, so it didn't hit any rooms, and no one was hurt. So they tell us around 3:30ish we can go back to our rooms, however the elevators are still shut down. Ok 8 flights of stairs for Big Z was HELL! I didn't have to stop and rest in between flights, however when I got to the 8th floor, I was beat. Then I was too hot and sweaty to sleep, plus they kept trying to reset the alarm and it would go off, until around 5:30 in the morning. So when I showed up for work at 9AM, I was super tired.
Illinois - "The Land of Lincoln" - Ok...not going to try and comment on their state nickname. Lincoln has been dead for years. However I am staying in Chicago - "The Windy City" - Lets just say, I have added to it. Not having so much fun. The local guy is on vacation for a week, so they camped me out here in case a certain hospital calls. Yes. 1 Hospital gets this much attention in Chicago. Alexian Brothers. I guess they are very anal, and demand someone the minute they call, and they are big $$ makers for the company. Well we will see how it fares. I have been there 2 times already in 2 days. So I ordered Pizza......from Dominos. How lame is that?!? Then again, I don't even care.
Next week I have most of it off on Vacation. Time for Rendezvouz! No work! WOOT!
