4:30AM Titusville, Florida July 16th - 89° It feels like I was at the Costa sunglasses party only an hour ago. In fact, it’s been a quick six hours of sleep, sushi, and a short drive from Orlando, Florida to the Casa Coquina Bed and Breakfast in Titusville, Florida. We checked into an 89 year old bed and breakfast, which sits beside the Indian River. I woke up to the sound of a gong and our ring leader, Joe Lamantia from Mid-States, flipping on lights. Paul Considine, our buyer, Rob Bolke also from Mid-States, and I cleared the Costa party blur from our eyes. Looking around, we found ourselves waking up in a museum of world market items, in a room named the Black Pearl. 11
