I'm not sure why people think it's a great idea to have work conferences in lovely destinations. It doesn't really encourage a strong work ethic, nor does it make long days of presentations in freezing cold, windowless conference rooms more pleasant.
Am I complaining about spending a week at in lovely San Juan at the Ritz? Never. In fact, I would like to take time to note the four things I most appreciate about the San Juan Ritz-Carlton:
Thing 1: The artwork is fantastic. What was the last time you loved the art on the walls of a hotel?
Thing 2: Today I left the hotel in gym shorts and a tank top, prominently carrying a wallet, and walked by myself down the block to a Walgreens pharmacy [where I spent $104 on fun nice-to-haves]. The Ritz may not be directly responsible for my safety, re-invigorated sense of liberty, or the convenient location of the Walgreens but I'm feeling generous.
Thing 3: Hot water. Hot water comes out of the taps with 0 wait time! Amazing. And a good way to save water. But maybe not energy? Whatever. I love it.
Thing 4: There are short toilet seats in the bathrooms by the conference room! My knees are at right angles when I sit down on the seat! Thanks, Ritz-Carlton!
