Our new client, the hotel’s owner, was waiting for us as we walked into the lobby for the first time. He appeared tired and frustrated.

Each week a small army of suppliers,…

Destin, Florida In my opinion Florida is a good vacation spot. There may be a few bad things, but it always end up being fun. The first thing I noticed when we arrived in Destin was that all the people we talked to spoke english. I found this a little weird, because Florida is one of the top four states for immigration. The race was pretty well mixed though. There were mainly caucasians, a little less African Americans, and even less hispanics. When we went to Florida there was an even more…
