Florida Excitement

I have joined the army of weekend warriors that have been contracted
to come from Michigan to Florida to run the cash room at Renaissance
Festival. Sounds easy enough... leave Friday and come home Sunday.
All flights and hotel paid for.

The surprise comes into play when you find out that the hotel is only
$62/night (Days Inn by Busch Gardens) is in the crack part of town.
Friday night the street outside our hotel was filled with cops and
flashing lights until about 2am when I passed out from hearing the
sounds of the police helicopter flying overhead.

The Festival is on 25 acres of land versus the 300 acres in Michigan
so it is a little smaller and we are getting some negativity from the
people who worked here previously. So the fun continues and we will
find out.
