Just don't go into the maze. And if you see a set of young twin girls, don't pack - just run.

You know that scene where the elevators open and blood comes rushing out into the hallway?
It totally reminds me of those Starburst commercials!
(only scarier  )

The employees of The Fairmont Algonquin in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada, are adept at working as a team, but many of them didn't realize how diverse that team would be. Among the hundreds of employees cleaning, cooking and serving each day are several long-standing team members-at best guess they began working at the hotel in 1890.
Guests in the wintertime frequently come to the front desk to praise the bellman. This uniformed older gentleman will meet guests in the elevator and escort them to their room, helping with their bags and chatting about the history of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. Interestingly, the hotel does not employ a bellman in the winter, and has no staff members of the bellman's description. He is obviously a previous employee who loved his job so much he has returned to continue serving his guests-and with the compliments he receives, the hotel is happy to have him.

The Fairmont Algonquin Resort, in St. Andrew's by the Sea, New Brunswick is a haven for upper class families. It is also a haven for the afterlife. On many occasions guests report seeing a brokenhearted bride, walking the halls of the second floor.
Thank goodness i'm on the 3rd floor!!!

I'm so excited to be going!
I was hoping they would plan a murder mystery weekend, but we are doing an Amazing Race instead.
VERY cool because I am on the CEO's team... So i'm happy that i'll get to talk to him and have fun at the same time. He's in Toronto so i've never been in conversation with him. Great way to get to know him and for him to get to know me as well.
I would also like to add...
redrum REDRUM!
