Back from the 70s
Our trip to the wonderful ElDorado Royale last weekend was tons of fun. Funjet Vacations, Lomas Travel and the whole staff at the ElDorado Royale and the ElDorado Seaside Suites did a great job hosting us and making sure we had a fabulous time. Philip and I brought home the "Best Dressed" trophy.In this picture I am singing "It's Too Late" by Carole King. I also sang "Money Money Money" in the style of Mamma Mia.
Really a great time all around.
This Friday I will depart again for Cancun. I am escorting an incentive group at the Riu Palace Las Americas. If you know me or have been reading this blog for very long, you're very familiar with how much I LOVE doing incentive groups. I really think that's why I was put on this planet. People often give me a "wink wink" when it comes up in conversation that I am going to a beautiful beach resort for work. Make no mistake, I do have lots of fun doing it (doesn't everyone have fun at work? If not, you're in the wrong profession.) It is, however, hard work.
In other news, this morning I took in for repair the external hard drive on which is stored several years of digital photo images including many not yet posted on hotel photo tours and many many wonderful family pictures. I got a phone call from a friend last night just after I had gotten all set up to work for a few hours from bed. My laptop was on my lap and my external hard drive was snuggled in close beside me. I jumped up when I got the phone call and knocked the hard drive two feet to the carpeted floor. Now it won't work.
Lovely.
I'll find out Monday if they're able to get the data off of it. I'm thinking they'll be able to, but I was really hoping to get lots of those pictures posted this weekend. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to do it from Cancun.
More Soon.

Anyone who saw Robert Altman’s "A Prairie Home Companion” knows that Meryl Streep is not only a top rate actress, but she can sing as well! Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried are still unknown quantities in the musical attributes department. But, in any case, they are both scheduled to star alongside Meryl in "Mamma Mia!" Universal Pictures and Tom Hank’s Playtone Production Company’s adaptation of the popular ABBA musical. The storyline revolves around a bride-to-be and her formerly rebellious mom (Meryl) who raised her on a Greek island and never disclosed the identity of her father. The bride locates three men who might be her father and invites them to her wedding. The musical features 22 ABBA songs, including "Dancing Queen", "Take a Chance on Me" and "The Winner Takes It All". Pierce will play the main father figure, while Amanda has snagged the role of the bride-to-be. The movie's screenplay was written by Catherine Johnson, who wrote the show's stage play book. Amanda is no newcomer to the big screen, having appeared in "Mean Girls" and "Alpha Dog" and can also be seen on television in HBO's "Big Love". Pierce’s latest film is "Butterfly on a Wheel", which he also produced, as well as "Married Life" , to be released this fall . While Meryl is now completing UA’s “Lions for Lambs” along side Tom Cruise and Robert Redford.
