Back to Boca!

By Tara Clampett

It was time to move back to sunny Florida with temperatures in New York getting closer and closer to zero near the end of October!

Although it was emotional leaving my managers and friends in NY, it was also bittersweet as I looked forward to seeing my friends and managers at Boca West after not seeing them for the past six months.

My flight out of New York was delayed TWICE and all I wanted was to get back to my apartment in sunny Florida! After a bumpy flight I was finally in back on Floridian soil – however the sun decided to disappear and the rainstorm started just as I was dragging my overweight suitcases up to our third floor apartment! Needless to say I was so relieved when I finally made it through our front door.

Coming back to Boca West the next day for our returner orientation and it felt like I had never left. While many of us had come from a successful season Up North, we were also so happy to be back and the energy and excitement between the new staff and returners was infectious!

Shortly after I arrived back in Florida my roommate from Up North and I went to see The Chainsmokers live in Miami – I have always dreamed of seeing them live since I heard their debut song ‘Closer’ back when I first came to the USA in 2015 and sharing this experience with her was incredible!

Another highlight of the season is the Boca West Holiday Party and this year was another great night when us employees felt like members for the night! There were loads of prizes to be won and I was so happy to see employees who work so hard and such long hours win some of the prizes!

Here’s to another great season at the number one private Country Club in Florida!
