I have not been as active at Blogging this week as i would have liked but i did mention that i was having a break with my wife in Killarney so spending my time on the computer would not have been the thing to be doing. As it turned out it was an extremely busy week there as Killarney is not only a great centre for tourism but it also has a great convention centre which attracts a lot of large conventions. This week there was massive Google gathering as they had their sales conference for Europe there with over two thousand in attendance. Where would we be without Google. I am sure that it was worth a lot of money to the town of Killarney, and my hotel, the Killarney Plaza, was full. They left on Wednesday only for another large group of women to arrive, and they were on a Christian retreat. They all appeared to be of African origin but are living in Irleand. So this has been a good week for Killarney and a badly needed one what with the recession and everything.
Now i am back in business once again and i have a couple of enquiries for next year to deal with and a couple of programs to put together for clients. I find that Americans ae great at planning in plenty of time and the early bird does catch the worm. I have only so many weeks available during the season so if you are thinking of coming this way make sure you do not leave it too late.
I really enjoyed Killarney and managed to put on a few pounds due to some lovely meals. I overdo the breakfast at the Plaza but i think that most people do and the temptation while on holidays is just too much. They have wonderful oatmeal and of course the Irish breakfast of bacon, egg, sausage and black and white pudding are irresistable, plus a few slices of toast and a pot of great coffee. I usually finish off with a couple of pancakes with maple syrup.....no wonder i put on a few pounds. Now it is back to the diet and the daily swim when i have time.
