I am currently in Laguna Niguel, CA at a conference. The trip started out with my director injuring herself and not being able to join my manager and I. This may not seem like a big deal, however, they (my manager and director) were to be presenters at this conference. Well, now that she wasn't able to make the trip - I was volunteered as the fill in as a speaker. Lovely. Did I mention that I didn't pack a suit because I wasn't supposed to be in front of a big conference room full of people. OK so I got over it as much as i could as we made our way to the airport.
It only got better from here. So we got on the plane, a packed plane for the very long 5 -5 1/2 flight. Yes, I got stuck on an aisle seat with the biggest man on the plane sitting right next to me, leaning and breathing on me the whole (WHOLE) flight. Oh did I mention, the dog that was in the seat behind me that my allergies loved :) You could say I was very glad to get out of the plane. So then, my boss and I proceeded to the rental car place to get the car, and get on the 405 (BIG FREEWAY) to look down and have an empty tank of gas. You guessed it - we had a minor freak out and proceeded to go fill the car up and get on the freeway. Then we headed about 50 miles to our hotel. This is when it gets better. We pulled up to the most amazing, BEAUTIFUL, gorgeous hotel that I have ever seen. It is on the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Did I mention it is the Ritz Carlton - and I have never ever seen a hotel or room look like the one I am staying in. Guess it made the whole day better when I laid in my cozy bed last night.....only thing that wasn't the best was that I am here by myself and didn't have my babe with me. Well anyway, I will download pictures when I get home on Thursday and show you what I am talking about.
