adam1942 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was called in to the directors office yesterday. I was asked if I wanted to go to Miami for a weeks training/Partner conference... Turns out on the Wednesday and Thursday for about 4 hours I'll be doing my stuff and the rest of my time is my own. The companies paying for my girlfriend and myself to go over as we (as a company) recently moved office and as I moved all the internal IT stuff over a weekend with zero disruption on the Monday morning so its a big thank you! All I need to do is take a weeks leave... Although we'll be going a few days early and I'll be paying for a hotel for 3 days so we can see the sights etc! The trip is officially from 5th - 9th November although we'll be arriving on the 2nd. The course is actually on a cruise ship which will sail to/around the Bahamas then back to Miami on the Friday to get a flight home! Has anyone been before? How did you find it? I was looking online and I can rent a Ford Mustang GT (5.0 V8) for 3 days for £235 with unlimited mileage.. Sorry for the big message.. I'm shocked. I've only ever been to Spain and main land UK..
