I flew in to orlando sunday the 16th and checked in to one of the sketchiest hotels i have ever witnessed. I Dropped my luggage on the bed and headed out to dinner with some colleagues, i didn't get back to the room until 2am when i promptly fell asleep without turning the lights on. When i woke up and looked around and took a deep whiff i quickly made the executive decision to BOUNCE.
