This video pretty much sums up what the week was like, for those who got out of their hotel room. It was the final video that played tonight just before the band started playing. 

We head to the airport at 10am tomorrow, and I should be home no later then 7pm if all goes as scheduled. This is my last trip for the year, and that’s just fine with me. It’s been a great year for travel jobs but a little break for the rest of the year sounds good.

It’s not all that interesting, but this is the only photo I’ve had time to take since I got here since I have not been able to leave my room. Like most of these travel jobs, it’s been long days. 

Today is the last day of editing, and I have one more video to get done before the trip is over. The last video needs to be done and out the door by 7pm tonight, but there is still shooting going on today that needs to be included. So it will be one of those down to the wire situations. 

Tomorrow I get to sleep in (a little) and then we have a 1pm flight to head back home. I’m wishing I had added one extra day to just hang out on the beach here before I left!

Click on the photo to see a larger version – it is a stitch of 16 different photos that I took from left to right looking off of the balcony.

US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) speaks during a campaign stop at the Merrillville Fire Department Station #2 in Merrillville, Indiana, May 5, 2008.

I have two more work related trips for the year. 

Starting Wednesday I’ll be in beautiful Merrillville Indiana doing an conference for IGA. Although it’s only about 50 miles from home, I’ll be there Wednesday through late Friday or early Saturday morning. 

The beautiful Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach.

Early Sunday I leave for Cancun Mexico (by far the better of the two trips) and come back from that on Friday the 14th. The job in Cancun is for FICP and there are several videos for that job that will be shot and edited on-site. We’re staying at the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach which looks to be a very nice hotel. 

So this year is a record for travel jobs, in both quantity and quality of locations. From as close as Indiana and as far as Bangkok Thailand, and ending up the year in Cancun Mexico… it’s hard to complain. 

As you might expect, I’ll be doing posts from my travel locations.
