And let me tell you, it was unbelievable.
Kickoff took place at the Monterey Plaza Hotel, right off the ocean. My room had an ocean-view and came with binoculars so I could watch sea otters and seals play in the water. I also had turndown service complete with "mood" music. ;)

I was also well fed. I even had my personal favorite fancy food--filet mignon. But the highlight was the cioppino, an Italian seafood food. With crab, shrimp, scallops, and clams fresh from the ocean, I was one happy chica!
I went on a scavenger hunt through Cannery Row. I jammed at the karaoke night. I won a wine tour--ironic since I don't drink. And to top it all off, I attended a private dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Trust me, that place is way cooler when there are a gazillion kids crowded around the exhibits.
But it wasn't all fun and games. I actually did work while I was there. My company made some very big announcements and I was responsible for monitoring the social media frenzy that followed. It was pretty hectic and fun.
It was an amazing week. I am so grateful for that experience and to my company for letting me participate.
