My company is MAKING me go to Florida!
It's convention time. So I have to leave this beautiful 35 degree weather, and get on a plane to Orlando, where it is expected to be about 74. For some reason, my wife and son aren't feeling sorry for me. Can I get some sympathy here?

3. Can't afford it.
We were just there on a vacation in November, so they aren't TOO jealous.

6. I want to go to conventions
Unfortunately, they haven't paid for anyone to go out of state. I couldn't even go to a convention in Chicago.

15.  I'm typing this from O-town
Edited on Sat Feb-07-04 10:10 PM by Jen6
it's in the 50s and I spent the day outside in a light shirt and jeans.:-)

It does get into the thirties occationally here in Febuary (at like, 1am), so do bring a sweater. Stay off of I-4 if you can. If you need any restaurant or travel suggestions, PM me!

And don't punish all of us for Jebbie. This state uses BBV, and I worked the polls in 2000- Florida went to Gore without a doubt.
