Broadmoor Colorado Springs, Colorado

...still in another time zone in a distant place.... having just arrived from an experience of a lifetime at the Broadmoor for the 2009 CIO 100 Symposium and Awards, it would take sometime to get back to reality.... There's no place like Broadmoor. The beauty is truly breathtaking, the service a combination of five-stars and five-diamonds! What a life, even just for a short time!

No schedule whatsoever in Tampa, Florida!

On my 2nd day in Tampa, Florida, after spending a long night full of acticvities for gf and a great dinner for a party of 16 by gf's agent at a fancy French Restaurant and enjoying the majestic view from the 23rd floor of Marriott's Waterside and Marina, I decided to venture out for an early morning run this morning only to be stopped by the security at the gated island. It was just too inviting looking at it from my window. Surrounded by water and connected to the Marriott's by a bridge, my curiousity tells me I had to see what it's like to live in an island facing the water with their fancy boats tied up.

Needless to say, I took another route and crossed a different bridge and found sushi, tapas, seafood and steak restaurants close by Channelside. Since GF has a Medill alumni reception tonight, dinner with her would have to wait until Saturday. Sushi anyone?
