And, speaking of swank resorts, the conference was at the Westin Kierland Resort and we had plenty to do!

The resort is absolutely an incredible place--from the customary Westin heavenly beds to the ¼-mile lazy river there was always something enjoyable to go do.

The hotel features several restaurants and bars, all with great setups, a nice workout room, two pools, one with a small beach and a beach entry, the lazy river and even a waterslide.  And they are all part of the normal room rate.
