Back to work

Sunrise from my Balcony...
I've had the last week off... boss gone to... well I'm not quite sure this time. But since it's been a while I thought I'd fill ya'll in. The end of January my boss paid for my certification of the EZLase, which is a really cool machine for perio, but only hygienists will understand. However the class was in SAN DIEGO for the weekend. So while I left to warmer climates ya'll enjoyed the snow. By the time I got there they had to upgrade our rooms for free - darn it. So I got a King suite with a partial view of the ocean. NICE. I had class mostly all day Fri. and Sat. but still with plenty of time to call family and friends, and took my test Sat. afternoon. Passed with flying colors, I had the rest of the day to wander around and take pictures. There were over 1200 dental personel attending this World Clinical Laser Institute, from over 25 different countries. It was a really neat experience and ... I got to check another Hard Rock off my list! The hotel I stayed at was The Hotel Del Coronado. If any of you have heard of this place you know how amazing and famous it is. If you haven't you should definitely check it out.
Sunset on the beach. Only part of the hotel in the background.


This was my free King upgrade. What you can't see is my balcony, hide-a-bed couch and coffee table and desk. Then there's the pic of palm trees and only one of their 3 pools.


The beach after our catered beach party the night before

It may have rained a little my last morning, but the beach couldn't have looked any more amazing.

This was just Sunday brunch. My hotel room bill came to over $1,000 for just 3 nights. And that wasn't for the free upgrade. Good thing my boss was taking care of the bill.

Hard Rock San Diego...I can find them anywhere!
Needless to say the trip was ok, I was in class and when I wasn't I was there alone. But it was an experience well worth it. I would definitely recomend this hotel.... only if your wallet can handle it.

LUCKY DUCK!

That hotel is so sweet! We got to check out the lobby once when we were there as a Priests Quorum. I wish we could have stayed there instead of the Army barracks.

Anyway, it sounds like you had a great trip. Thanks for rubbing it in my face so I can close my eyes and pretend I'm you for a second. Bee had a dental thing in Las Vegas the other week...it sounds like that's the field to be in.
