Mid-August 2017

Sorry for the lack of updates. What have I been doing?

I hosted multiple delegations throughout the month and, as you can tell, ate a lot. It was my birthday month, so I had so many free dinners. I ate free meals at First Watch, IKEA, Jason’s Deli, Sweet Tomatoes, Einstein Bagels, and Perkins. I received free drinks from Starbucks and Panera. I missed my honey baked ham meal and I skipped going to IHOP and Denny’s.

I had a very nice birthday celebration at work where we all ate chick-fil-a sandwiches and cupcakes. I received roses from Andrea and multiple gift cards.

Other things:

  • I went to a conference on Florida’s Trade and Logistics
  • I ate lunch at an Indian restaurant with the Indian Consul General
  • I went to Hawkers with Bev
  • Later on, I went to Geyser Grill with Bev and saw the new cabins ($1800 a night)
  • I saw the “minnie van” at Wilderness Lodge. Disney’s answer to Uber.
  • Saw the eclipse
  • I went to a “Haiti is Open for Business” seminar
  • I spoke at a Congresswoman’s event
  • Welcomed delegations from India, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea

Again, I apologize for the lack of updates.
