Northwest, Southeast, Orlando Part 2
The next morning the six folks giving presentations were shuttled to the Hotel Disney. I quietly said goodbye to The Buena Vista whose staff who laughs and jokes with visitors without losing the ability to serve with excellence. It tells me the company has a good screening process when hiring and a great training program for employees. These were people who were from Africa and Jamaica and native African Americans. White employees are more reserved.
Anyway, the Hotel Disney is the essence of quiet posh with upscale clothing stores, restaurants and gifts shops, of course. I quickly made the rounds to get to know the lay of the land, bought a salad and ate it on the patio by the pool. I shamelessly watched women sunbathe themselves and cursed myself for not bringing my sunglasses so I could stare with less subtlety.
Sunbather ogling is, in my mind, the perfect sport:
-You can move around the pool if you want to for different angles and perspectives
-You can sit in one spot and just analyze each motionless body
-You can wait, expending no energy at all, until the sunbather turns over and you have a whole new geography to study
-In the comfort of your chair, you are free to enter a world of fantasies that can go on as long as your mind and body can take it.
-There are no winners and losers.
-And . . .there’s no tipping!
