Another Day in Paradise

After waking up at 4 am to make a 6am flight out of San Francisco I was rewarded by one of the most remarkable and breathtaking sunrises seen from the window seat of a Boeing 777. I will try to upload a picture of it when Blogspot gets their picture function working again.

So now I am in Orlando at the Wyndham hotel on the Disney property literally across the street from Downtown Disney (DD) and Pleasure Island (PI). Getting in at 7pm into Orlando didn’t leave much time for anything besides getting some food and walking around DD and PI. The two could not be more different if it was something out of Alice and the Looking glass. In Downtown Disney the area is of course their typical scrubbed environment without alcohol or smoking, an attempt at a haven for children. In Pleasure Island there are ample amounts of both including everything that comes from a city full of night clubs and bars. It is refreshing to see both ends of the spectrum meeting in such a way.

Tomorrow I get a half day off and I will spend the time take some much needed R&R. The conference will start in the latter part of the day and throughout the week. More updates as the week goes on.
