I was in Miami ;p

Over Halloween weekend, I was sent by my school to Miami Beach for Level 2 training for our magnet program.  It was an overwhelming 4 days considering we had trainings all day, and then we had to see the "sites" the rest of the time...I know...poor me!!!  Our little group had such a wonderful time getting to work together and know each other better.  I left with a wealth of knowledge and some new friendships. 

Highlights: 
1. Out-of-this-world costumes in a barely covered kind of way. 
2. Scrumptious food.
3. Beach right outside the hotel.
4. Bed made and fresh towels each day.
5. Choice of 3 pools.
6. Only spending $20 after getting reimbursed.

Lowlights:
1. Not being with Jon and Kelsey on Halloween.
2. No one speaking English.
3. Food prices.
4. Taking taxi rides with drivers who don't talk.
5. Aveda shampoo...totally dried my hair out.
6. Forgetting my flip-flops at home.
7. Men wearing Speedos.
