MY TDY

For those of you that don't know what TDY means, it means Temporary Duty. Since we speak in acronyms in the military, it is our way of saying we will be away from our regular job for a temporary time. You may be TDY for a conference, a school, etc. I went TDY for a training/ conference. It was an awesome networking and learning experience, but like most conferences it was pretty dry.

The most random part of the entire TDY was the hotel we stayed in. 2 of my co-worker, my boss and I all went to on this TDY. My boss got special authorization to stay at an off base hotel, which she loved (she told us that before hand). Normally, for TDYs, you stay on base, it is usually close to the training and cheaper.

So, we pull up to this hotel, it has a bright pink car out front advertising the hotel rates, name etc. Kind of funky, yes, but also kind of cute.

We walk into the hotel, it is FULL of crap, there are fake flowers everywhere shelves of strange knickknacks. My co-worker turns to me and says this place reminds me of a no name Vegas chapel with rooms connected. In hindsight I wish I would have taken more pictures.

We got our room keys and that's when it got interesting. All of the rooms had mirrors on the ceilings and little lights in the mirrors with a dimming switch. All the rooms also had saunas and jacuzzi tubs. The hotel was quite the experience and the decor made you think renting by the hour was an option. We are still laughing about the place and wondering about my boss. :)
