USCA

i just returned from spending 4 nights in orlando, fl attending the united states conference on aids.... despite having worked in the field of hiv/aids for the past 6 years, this was my first time attending this particular conference.  it was refreshing to be around people who share similar views and feel that renewed fire to continue the fight for my clients and friends living with the reality of hiv.  was it the greatest conference or training i've every been to? no. certainly not. did i learn anything new? of course.  would i go again? no doubt about it.  best part? by the time my supervisor found the funds to send me, the more affordable of the 2 hotel options was sold out.  that means i ended up at the waldorf astoria. seriously... check those photos. it was the nicest hotel i've ever been to in my life.  they turned down my bed at night and left me chocolates, a robe and fuzzy slippers. it was a really good mini-vacation. now i'm home for few weeks before heading to st.louis for my cousin amy's wedding!
