OK. OK, no, that's fine. I can work with that. 2005

Today I received an email from our company's travel coordinator regarding my upcoming trip to a user group meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa. It said that my co-workers and I had hotel arrangements at the conference site, but that one of them was looking into other options.

Why? Because our hotel, and indeed the entire conference is taking place inside a theme park.

Okay. That's, um, interesting.

And, y'know, I'm okay with that.

I don't know where the other guys are going to end up staying, but me, I'm conveniently located:

As the hotel is part of the Gold Reef City complex, guests have access to all of the facilities - gold mine tours, tribal dancing, can-can dancing, horse and carriage rides, fun fair rides, entertainment, shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the casino and Globe Theatre.

This is gonna be one weirdass trip.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
