The Hilton was an oceanfront property with my room overlooking the beach. Actually, my college roommate and I have remained good friends since graduation even though we live a considerable distance apart now. I had not actually shared a room with someone since college, but that experience hadn't been so bad. I'm 28 and my wife and I just purchased our first home a couple of years ago and as you can imagine, we are on a really tight budget.
All other expenses, including meals, were paid for as well as a small daily expense account for entertainment. They were willing to pay at least half of the accommodations or all of it if we were willing to share a room with another company employee. The company I work for has multiple locations throughout the southeast and paid all the expenses to the four day program.
A few weeks ago, I attended a training conference in Hilton Head, S.C.
