I requested that my Dad not book at a hotel that was doing renovations… our last trip was rife with construction noise just outside our bedroom window at 7:30 am sharp.
“Its a nice hotel they wouldn’t do that to their guests.”
I said - there are tons of boutique hotels clamoring for business in this slow economy and deals abound. *smile* Here are a few links for some gorgeous and inexpensive hotels in the area.
“This is where I want to stay”
Mom just called to say that Dad is feeling very sheepish and that the smell of fresh shellac is wafting into their room. Yikes!
Sometimes being right is not as satisfying as it should be.
Needless to say we are off for a few days. The weather should be similar to home very very dry and between the mid 70’s and low 40’s Fahrenheit. So no blog posts, and the response back rate for comments will be difficult. But we will be back in a few days!
Coming Soon!
- The Brandon Sanderson – The Gathering Storm – signing, pictures, link up, and one signed book giveaway - (we have one for later too!)
- The announcement of the winner for Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble - signed copy. You can still join the contest!

Oh NO!!!! We vacationed at The Marriott in Aruba last year and they neglected to tell us construction was going on outside the pool area. It was noisy. We complained, and surprisingly they gave us one night free.
Hope it's not too too bad,

I think that's horrible not to be upfront. And only one night?
The hotel was very up front on its web site. But said it would not be a problem. I mentioned it to my Dad but he still wanted to stay there. After he arrived yesterday he wished he had taken my suggestion.
John will be talking to the management. He almost always gets what he wants.... Lets hope its a big upgrade!
I am looking forward to your stories about your adventures after you get back!
When you get back do tell if they upgraded you. I always enjoy hearing those stories.
Hope you're having a nice break!
I hope you have some fun while you're gone! :)
Looking forward to all the many things to come :)
Laurel, DC, and Krista -
Thanks for the thoughts. I will fill you all in next week.
Not nearly as bad as I imagined. Palm Springs is a lovely town, and I don't have to cook. Major plus!
