After
Iceland I travelled to Antalya in Turkey where I was providing support to an
event management company who were managing a corporate incentive program for an
online gaming company. My role was to ensure that the two charter flights that
the customer had paid for went without any problems. The event management
company had arranged for me to stay in the all inclusive resort that the
incentive group were staying in. I arrived late on Friday night and spent most
of Saturday at the airport making the arrangements for the departure in the
evening I was back at the Hotel but the group and the events management people
had the Gala Dinner that is common at these events. This left me to eat on my own
and I have rarely felt more out of place. The resort had several big buffet restaurants
but all were set up for families or couples, no one goes on holiday on their
own!!. I was the only person eating on my own. I felt if everyone’s eyes were
on me saying “look at him he is on his own”, I ate quickly and left for the
room. Tomorrow is all day at the airport before an early night and then a 4AM
pickup on Monday back to the airport so just one more night of “Billy no mates”
to suffer.
