On a cold winter day, Bill announced to me that he had an out-of-town job assignment - he was going to be the keynote speaker at the first “Caribbean Computer Conference.” I did not have any pressing deadlines at work, so I said, “Ok, we will go too.” I got Carl’s school assignments for the week. We three packed and left the cold weather behind.
Nassau is in the background.
We stayed at this resort hotel.
Bill did have a free day to sightsee. On the other days, Bill got dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, tie, and wingtip shoes, while Carl and I donned our shorts and tee shirts. Bill went to the conference hall. Carl and I went sailing, went on a submarine excursion, or hung out at the pool. When we met Bill at the end of the afternoon, I would whine to him, “I have been with Carl all day. You entertain him.” Thus, Bill and Carl played some serious shuffleboard in the late afternoons. I still remember the trip as a great vacation; Bill still remembers the trip as an interesting work assignment.
