In Florida!!

Well, I'm in beautiful sunny West Palm Beach, Florida! It's about 80 degrees here. My interview is tomorrow. And I'm exhausted. What with my typical sleep problems and the stress of packing and making sure I brought everything I needed to bring and the early flight and the time change, I think I totaled about 15 minutes of sleep during the night.

When I arrived in Florida, we sat on the tarmac for about 35 minutes. We were early - about 35 minutes coincidentally - and instead of letting us get off the plane, we had to wait for our designated gate to empty. I'm not sure why we couldn't just go to another gate! I saw empty ones. Then, I seriously had to wait for about an hour to get my rental car. It was just a long, slow-moving line. The airport was actually crazy busy. I hope it isn't like that when I have to leave. But it's not like I had anywhere to go because my flight was due in at noon and check-in isn't until 4pm.

After I got my car (an orange Chevy Cobalt), I drove around for awhile. Downtown West Palm Beach is nice. It reminded me of Santa Monica, CA. And, Palm Beach, which is between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway, reminds me of Beverly Hills with a beach. It's very ritzy. The beach is beautiful! I also drove by the office where I have to go tomorrow so I know where I'm going. And then I headed north on 95 to try to check out some of the area. At about 3:30pm, I came back to the hotel and they let me check in early. I've been kind of napping but also trying not to nap too much because I don't want to spend another sleepless night. Although I probably will... I'm really nervous about the interview.
