Puerto Rico Part Three

Here are some photos from the front door of my casita! The casitas are little cottages outside the main hotel complex that have full kitchenettes and are two and three bedroom suites. I shared a suite with the only other female member of the crew Maura. So whatcha think?



The picture above shows the Marina for the hotel. They are also building a water park at the El Conquistador so it's going to be even nicer than before!

The island in the photo belongs to the hotel, as well. The El Conquistador is set on the side of a mountain so there is no beachfront at the main hotel. You take a ferry over to the island and that's where you can sit on the beach. I did not get to do that on this trip but my colleagues did. They said that the water was just warm and fantastic. I did a spa thing and hung out by the pool instead.

Here's another shot of the island. I forget what the name of island is but if you go to the website - you'll see it there.

Oh, the memories....... Next time, though, I think I want to just go without work and just be able to sit back and enjoy it all! More news later!

Thought I was posting some thoughts from Puerto Rico

and some photos but it seems that blogger is having some technical difficulties. Stay tuned for more information...

More photos and thoughts from Puerto Rico (aka Paradise)

So, we're in Day #5 here in Puerto Rico. My client's program is winding down today and we're beginning the big strike of gear to get it packed up and ready to go. Yea!!! Tomorrow finishes up the strike and then we have the afternoon to pack and play before we catch our flights home. The shuttle pick-ups for the airport are three hours before our flights so.....we're all hitting the bed EARLY so that we can be ready for those 4 AM and 5 am pick ups. Y'all can only imagine how much fun and how excited I am for that early of a pick up. I'm seriously thinking about not going to bed so that I don't oversleep. :-)



Well, I thought I was going to post up some more shots from the resort; however, blogger is having a little problem right now so stay tuned.......



Hopefully when I get home, the pictures from the home renovation are ready so I can start sharing that. What an ordeal, to say the LEAST!!!! Hugs to all!

Ok, so where has Cherai been this time around....

So, let's see what's been going on since my last post.....Went to Philly and Baltimore for site inspections with clients.... Then, I have not gone anywhere until this trip to Puerto Rico but life surely has not been dull at all.

I've been creating a true home office out of my dining room. It's been a HUGE DRAMA but it is finally up and running. It's not quite functional yet but it's pretty darn close, thank goodness. I have pictures of the entire process from when the walls were drywall white and now they are..... Well, just stay tuned and you will see what it looks like now.

It's very exciting!

Hope all is well in your worlds!

Check out the View from My Show Office for This Week!

These are the views from our show office! Fabulous, huh? The view is so fantastic that my little Treo cell phone camera took beautiful shots!

My client ACI is holding their Fall Conference in Puerto Rico. Isn't it gorgeous! It's almost hard to work but the client has to have their AV working.

Note to self and friends - getting internet access in the Caribbean is not the easiest thing. Just so you know....

Anyway, getting the show up and running has been a challenge with the "Soon Come" slowness and the technical difficulties that one usually does not face stateside; however, the folks here are just so hospitable and the environment is just so lovely that it's hard to stay in a bad mood. My clients are really great - especially with some of the knuckleheads I have on my crew - so it's all good.

My spa appointment is set for Thursday - YEA!!!! I'll need that deep tissue massage, for sure.

More to come.
