Most of them had issues with attendees bailing out mid-afternoon and the last day. I once made a tongue-in-cheek comment in a meeting that we ought to consider hosting the conferences at less desirable locations and stop doing them at resorts and beaches and other neat places. Truthfully, I wasn't thinking about the attendees, I was thinking of me. It sucked that I had to be in meetings from dawn to dusk while within sight was pristine beaches, whitewater, or trails. And looking at your pictures, I'm sure the temptation to hit the waves was strong. Thanks for the pictures and tips.
