There is a Corona Cigar lounge not too far away... as with much of Orlando, not far away still means driving not walking

Corona Cigar Company, 7792 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando is just under 3 miles away, many restaurants near it

Well, I leave at 4am Friday morning. That's 9pm for you guys on the east coast.

It's looking like I may have only Saturday and Sunday to do any shopping for all of the stuff I want to get. Monday to Wednesday is supposed to be spent in the factory going over the ambulance. I have a feeling that I will most likely be the only one there doing any work the whole time.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get out a bit early, and enjoy my evenings.

good luck finding some down time for yourself

I wasn't too bothered until the other day when I got a reply from the guy here in the ME about a question I had.

He said that he would see me at "The breakfast" on Saturday morning.

I hope that they aren't going to micro-manage the whole damn trip. I'll be more than just pissed. Even if it is a business trip, and they are picking up the tab. My work hours are from 8-4 normally. After that, it should be my time.

if I were you I would verify up front what the plans are, because my experience is a lot of people are willing to meet until dead if they opportunity arises

the hyatt is a nice place. We had our company sales kickoff meeting there in January. They permit smoking outside by the bar, but not in the hotel.

The bar is expensive. buy a bottle at the local shop! it's cheaper.

C'mon. These are Saudis we're talkin' about. They're coming from their Disney World to the real one.

Do you honestly think any of these guys are going to want to do any work? This is like a 6 day pass for them. Besides, none of them know shit about ambulances other than that they have flashing lights and make noise.

I also have an email into Hyatt to get me a direct email to our hotel so that I can get some specific info answered.

questions? no burkhas in the pool, yes they have bacon, and yes, lots of booze.
