Hope it's a productive & fruitful networking meeting!^

I've stayed at the JW Marriott when it first opened. We had a corner room that was hugh and a bathroom that I loved. Of course I've seen all of everyone's photos of their upgraded rooms so you might not think that the JW is so special.

It looks like Feb 15-26 or 27. The biggest issue is that with two adults and two kids we'll need two rooms at most of the hotels... that gets rather expensive rather fast.

The weather should be fairly pleasant I would think. Was there in July of this year. Let me tell you that heat was intenssssssssse.

If all else fails, I at least get a free meal out of it to deal with :rolleyes:.

My sad story from last night at work.

A woman arrived on an earlier flight and of course her bags when on her original flight. We advised her that we would deliver COD or she could wait 2 hours for her bags. She started to cry telling us that she was in town only to visit her nephew, that had been in a car accident two days ago and they were awaiting harvesting his organs. She didn't know where to have the bags delivered and wanted to wait. With tears in all of our eyes, we issued her a food voucher for her use while she waited.

On the way home the news report was talking about a young man that had been speeding 90 mph, hit the back of a car killing all 4 in that car, which was then sent into another car causing those people to be taken to the hospital and the young man was currently on life support, brain dead.

Same young man.

I hear ya on that!;) That's was a big deal when we took the kids to Japan in 2006 -- adds up quick!:rolleyes:

I think you can do 4 if they have a double double room. Our king room on the executive floor was decent size.

That is so terribly sad!:( Life is so precious -- gratitude!:-:

Such a tragic story. :(

End of August for us and it was freakin brutal.

:confused::confused::confused: -- that is brutal!:rolleyes:

I am not ashamed to say my eyes are welling up with tears reading this.:( It reminds me of my ex-fiancee who at age 30 was killed in a car wreck three years ago. She donated her organs, and her folks have pictures of the souls that were benefitted by her kindess of spirit.

Amen.

my parents new neighbors have a similar issue, son was driving and wrecked, his moms brain is injured very bad 50% chance of survival :( it was within .5 miles from their home. son is wrecked with grief as he is not injured at all.

One of the monks pulled me aside and under a fan as she felt so bad for the big white giant. :D
