So I was at Canyon Villas last week and as I enter the lobby notice all the staff lined up in a receiving line.

Thought it was maybe something new for the welcome breakfast for owners - but instead they were there to meet Mr. M himself.

So being the Marriott Geek I am, ran back to the villa and grabbed my camera.

Though he was being hurried by his escort, he stopped and took time for the picture.

Manager also used her camera and e-mailed me a picture in case mine did not come out.

So here I am with the Man. And no, I did not ask him if he was going to fix the rewards program.
