Well, so far my corporate journeys have been restricted to northern California, and southern & south-eastern Florida, and this has been since January 16th. I was in two hotels in NoCal, and at least 8 in FL. Granted, room rates are starting to rise because of tourist season, and that's limiting the quality of the hotels I can stay at. So far, out of my stays I've enjoyed LaQuinta & Holiday Inn express the most. I stayed in a Wyndham on first arrival to Miami, but they wanted $10 per day for internet access. My trainer thought the Wyndham was "da plant", but it was one of the worst three places I've stayed at. I've got a decent room at a decent rate for the next 17 days, unless my schedule changes. If it does, I think I'll tell corporate they can get someone else to do this. :-)

Ah, our IT department isn't exactly on top of things like that. Definitely the most inept group of IT staff I've ever dealt with. The concept of "work smarter, not harder" is *very* lost on them, although in a *very* few areas they've got some pretty cool stuff going on. Outside of that domain, though, they are pretty well lost. You wouldn't believe how long it took our staff to get our local DNS server set up properly to support lookups for 540 servers; well over three months. When I was *finally* (after three months of unpleasant womaning, begging, and screaming) given the address list, I had it ready for them in about 20 minutes. They went from 340 errant entries to 1.

I'm noticing that Delorme is estimating about twice as long as I would normally think it would take to drive the distances on it's routes; I

Thanks for the heads up; fortunately for the remainder of this leg of the journey I'll be traveling outside of peak traffic hours.

So what area are you in?

"pre-text stop"? I'm sorry, but I'm lost on this reference?
