The roads were empty at that hour so the guy driving the hotel shuttle floored it all the way to the resort. Since we weren't tourists but very tired, very cranky corporate meeting peons, we begged him to turn off the promotional video that was blaring at us about all the fun we weren't going to have time to have. He wouldn't do it. We descended on the lobby, I think there were around ten of us, and since there was only one person behind the counter it took forever to get checked in. They didn't have any bell staff around they called people up from the laundry to show us to our rooms. Other than that, the El Conquistador rocked. We held an event on their island (which is really cool in and of itself) and I can still remember being blown away by how many more stars were visible from the deck of the boat on the way back than from anywhere else I've ever been.<br><br>I really like that method for dealing with last minute changes, got to keep it in mind. I've been working on a post for a few weeks about 10 ways to piss off the AV staff and last minute changes is already on the list. It's one thing if it's fixing a serious error that could damage someone's credibility, but it can be difficult being as understanding when the changes are gratuitous, "power trip" changes.<br><br>RE: USB drives, have you checked out the IronKey? Hi Steve,

I really like that method for dealing with last minute changes, got to keep it in mind. I've been working on a post for a few weeks about 10 ways to piss off the AV staff and last minute changes is already on the list.
