OK. OK, no, that’s fine. I can work with that.

Today I received an email from our company’s travel coordinator regarding my upcoming trip to a user group meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa. It said that my co-workers and I had hotel arrangements at the conference site, but that one of them was looking into other options.

Why? Because our hotel, and indeed the entire conference is taking place inside a theme park.

Okay. That’s, um, interesting.

And, y’know, I’m okay with that.

I don’t know where the other guys are going to end up staying, but me, I’m conveniently located:

As the hotel is part of the Gold Reef City complex, guests have access
to all of the facilities – gold mine tours, tribal dancing, can-can
dancing, horse and carriage rides, fun fair rides, entertainment,
shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the casino and Globe Theatre.

This is gonna be one weirdass trip.
