Orlando, Florida
Vacation & Conference
April 10 thru April 14, 2010
Saturday we flew out to Orlando to stay for five days and four
nights at the Gaylord Palms hotel for a Exact Software conference starting on
Monday. Along with Johnna and I was my coworker Matt Stone and his wife
Liz.
The Hotel was possibly one of the most beautiful hotels I have
stayed which surpassed many of the Las Vegas casino hotels that we have stayed
at. The interior was like a beautiful rainforest with running streams,
water falls and a salt water lagoon with Manta rays and other salt water fish.
On Saturday we went to Downtown Disney to enjoy the shops and
dining. On Sunday we spent the day at Universal Studios where we rode all
of the rides and saw the attractions. Monday through Wednesday we spent
the days attending many workshops and demonstrations while enjoying the hotel
amenities, miniature golf and scenery. At night we drove around Orlando
along with returning to Downtown Disney for a nice dinner at Fulton's Crab House
