Tuesday morning and it is time for us to pick up the rental car. Avis is just a short walk from the hotel, straight up Chopin Place and on up NW 2nd St.

We have hired a two door silver colored Cobalt. So after receiving instructions on how to get back to the hotel off we go. Well thank goodness most of the streets are one way, it gives me time to work out where to make turns, as I am now sitting in the car on the left hand side and driving on the opposite side of the road.

I keep turning on the wipers as the indicators are on the opposite side to what I am used to.

We have to go around the block to get back to the hotel, easy – right – ha, wrong.

We come close to Biscayne Boulevard, there are no traffic lights and the traffic shows no signs of clearing because the bridge is up and the traffic is not moving. So we do a U turn and head off in another direction and end up having to go around the block a few times to work out how to get across the main road to the hotel. Signposting is at a minimum so it is simply a matter of taking note each time of how the road system works.

Finally – we reach the hotel and guess what – no parking is available so in the end we take the valet parking option even though we are only go to be at the hotel for another couple of hours.

Okay so far so good, we head off to breakfast to contine networking with the affiliate marketers.

Unfortunately it is time to go and we have to head off. When we first decided to come to the conference we didn’t purchase the full pass, because of the cost so we thought two days would be enough. It was only after we had booked everything that we were then sent a coupon code to get the full pass at a reduced rate. What this meant however was that we couldn’t stay at the conference for the full three days so it was on to Orlando that morning.
