On Hotel Living

January 6, 2009: Training Trip Day 1

So we've arrived in Florida and started swimming. We'll talk about that later, because we have something much more pertinent to discuss: hotel living.


We have made our base camp at the fabulous Ocean Pointe Suites in Key Largo (http://www.opsuites.com/), and are living in these two bedroom suites as only college-funded athletic teams can: five or six to a room.

Only a few issues here:

1) Obviously there is bed sharing. This is fine, as we're all mature adults(?) and can handle sharing beds for a week. Even if some of us snore.
2) We don't have our own food. This problem was fixed by making a massive trip to the local Winn-Dixie and buying out their stock. Now we can eat only like cash-strapped culinary-deprived college students can!
3) The wireless internet service can be described as spotty at best. I personally do not receive wireless in my room, and must go to the office and sit in the cool shade and watch the beach as I type my posts. Life is rough.

The Ocean Point(e) Suites offer much more then just beds and poor wireless, though. Look at all you can find here!

Tennis!

Beach Volleyball!

Large Lizards!



Clearly we are in the land of kings.
