I just called the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee. I’m supposed to go to a convention there in the spring. Last year I was so anxious about having my first real business trip. Not many teachers get to travel with their jobs, so this was a new experience for me in Corporate Land.

I have nothing but pleasant memories of my experience last year, and I’m excited about going back. The convention was fine, but the hotel was amazing. I had my own balcony, free internet, a frig with two free water bottles, and a huge room decorated with all the fixins’—all just for me. It was bigger than my apartment.

As I sat on hold waiting to book my room for the spring, I experienced the best hold music I’ve ever heard in my life. It was a Christmas jazz song, “I’ve got my love to keep me warm…” After the song was done, there was like a whole radio show going on announcing the Christmas season at the hotel. Mrs. Claus was on it, and they also announced the Holiday Gnome hunt! I was kind of disappointed when I got off hold. Why can’t phone companies have hold music like that?
