I'm back. Virginia Beach was ...uneventful. I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel, nice and affordable. I stayed in the hotel room after the awards ceremony in which I received a plaque for the second Best Waver in the US and Canada. We (my Liberty Tax boss and I) got to the hotel the hosts behind counter told me that I should have gotten there a day early (cause when the convention started but I was scheduled for the next day cause when I was suppose to get my award) then she proceeded to say the hotel was over-booked by two rooms. Therefore, we left the hotel and called the travel agent to take care of the problem. We head to a restaurant grab something to eat, I took a nap (yes, on the table in the restaurant) then we headed to the convention. There was footage of the first place winner and I have to say he could not dance but he did his best in -35 - degree weather. He was a waver from Alaska. That is the only reason why he won 1st because of the cold. Lucky bastard. We head back to the hotel and there different people behind the counter and the problem had been corrected and I suddenly had a room in the over-booked hotel. Sigh. People suck.
While at the conference, I tried out the Wii. I kicked butt in boxing bowling is not my thing. Virginia Beach is a total tourist town. The big hotel chains sit on the beach and directly across from them are shops, colorful tourist shops. I went 24 hours before finding a pizza place where I could get real food and not overpriced fish or burgers. Like Rachel Ray says from “40 Dollars a Day”, “Always ask the locals.” Therefore, I asked the new host and she told me about a mexican place down the street. This hotel rotates hosts nearly every hour it’s freaky.
Oh, and I scared a maid. She was doing the usual rounds and came to my door knocked three times, unlocked the door at the same time I opened the door popped my head out of the opening and she jumped back three or four feet. It was funny. At midnight, I dripped my feet into the Atlantic Ocean. It rained the day we left and that’s it. I might move down there later in life. It’s beautiful.
I’m tried I’ll get back to you all later, hopefully with more details, but right now I’m sleepy, so goodnight Gracie.
