:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hey, Melinda! I totally agree with you about the "Tea" with Wendy! Even my 8 yr old DD doesn't want that again! (She loved the chocolate chip cookies, though - she wants to order them from room service;) )

I think "Tea" is more about the company than the beverage - heck, I've been to one that served a nice glass of Champagne! Fairy Tale Cuvee, anyone?

I love tea! Maybe its the English blood in me but I enjoyed the high tea and it was a way to try some teas that I had never had before!

Mmmmmm! I liked it but then again I like anything at Palo. The only problem is they don't give you enough champange!

Melinda,

I was at the RI Garden Grove at Spring Break and it was at capacity. I had a kids' suite booked. Unlike the 2 bedroom, it had no door on the kids' room; you couldn't watch tv after they were in bed without disturbing them. Also, there was 1 elevator in the hotel; the wait was routinely 5-10 minutes. When I asked about the stairs, I was told that the stairs were designed for emergencies only. The stairs exited outside the building and were locked from the outside; you could take them down if you didn't mind walking back in through the lobby, but you couldn't take them to go up. The breakfast area was packed - they ran out of milk the second day we were there and took hours to get more, and seating was limited. Also, the smoke detector for our room was lying on the desk when we checked in - it was still lying there when we checked out 3 days later.

The good things were that the hotel, being new, is in excellent condition. The shuttle bus is a short walk and ran frequently.

I think that under normal circumstances that hotel would be a good choice.
:wave: :wave: :wave:
 
Thanks DonnaDavid for your input...Don't like the elevator idea though...i don't have the patience to stand there and wait!! I will ask for the 1st floor instead!! We actually have the kids suites also....no door, huh?? well i guess i can't be pickey with everything!!
thanks again!!

Melinda

By the way, you should fought the front desk about the Smoke alarm business...It a LAW that each hotels room is to have a working smoke detector!!!

I have to agree with Paul! Not enough Champange!

They have this bread there that you put preserves and whipped cream on, do try it! YUMMY!

But there is such a selection of Yummy stuff that it is hard to pick and choose!

Whatever you have you will enjoy!

Regarding sending "Food Products" thru the mail.......

The US Government will not allow Pre-Packaged Food Products whether it be crackers, gum, cookies, candies, etc.

They will allow a person to "Home Bake" stuff and send it thru! They assume it is safer than a "Company" packaged product! Go Figure!
 
:sunny:

Yeah I thought that law was in all 50 states. All the Disers should be aware of the importance of smoke detectors.
I think DH and I would do the tea. Have never been to Palos withour enjoying our food.
We are also up for the swap and think Sometime after the New Year is good. We will be at WDW the first week in Dec. and might find something to swap there.

Hear Michael Eisner is leaving. Of course it's not until 2006. But my stock is going up!

Oh if we're going to be trading. I'd like to trade for a cousin of Grumbos' trade. I want a Mercedes Benz 190SL. Mint condition and both tops, required. I'll offer one DH and one DD who comes with two daycare centers. LOL
(Luckily she isn't home at the moment.)

Everyone have a good day. And many prayers for Sophie, her family and all those in Florida who might be looking at another hurricane.

I ran into Grumbo doing some repair work on the JGE truck.

He's not sure why his mechanics keep quitting on him!!!

Mark
 
Oh boy, herre we go, things are back to normal around here, all right......
except where is Andy (verandah man) and Travis(3circles)?????
 
Maybe Andy is no longer subscribed to this thread since he's not going on the cruise any more.

I'll have you know we invested in a new vehicle to transport "SPECIAL" members of this cruise to the port.
Watch your mouth Mark or Jazz and I may make you walk.

Cheers,
Grumbo
 
Since Grumbo and Jazzman have decided to go upscale now. Here's a few thought to live by.

J.G.ENTERPRISES RULES OF ETIQUETTE

DINING OUT

When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup,
and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the wine.
If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your
fingers covering the label.

ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME

A centerpiece for the table should never be anything prepared
by a taxidermist. Do not allow the dog to eat at the table... no
matter how good his manners are.

DATING (Outside the Family)

Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first
date. Be aggressive. Let her know you are interested: "I've been
wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the men's
bathroom wall two years ago.

Establish with her parents what time she is expected back.
Some will say 10:00 pm; Others might say Monday. If it is
the latter, it is the man's responsibility to get her to school
on time.

THEATER ETIQUETTE

Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up
immediately after the movie has ended. Refrain from talking
to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear
you.

DRIVING ETIQUETTE

Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun
is loaded and the deer is in sight. When approaching a four way
stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of
way. Never tow another car using pantyhose and duct tape.
When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is
impolite to ask her to bring beer back. Never relieve yourself
from a moving vehicle, especially when driving. Do not lay
rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

TIPS FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Never take a beer to a job interview.
Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
If you have to vacuum the bed, it is time to change the sheets.
Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it is
still considered tacky to drive a U-haul to the funeral home.
 
Geez Mark I didn't realize that was the norm for NYC!!!!
Wow.
If our cruise goes a bit longer than the 14 days perhaps you can do some Amy Vanderbildt tips for all of us :)

Now the limo pickup truck is beginning to make sense. You have a gun rack in the back window too? ;)

Cheers,
Grumbo
 
Grumbo- Well Southern New York (maybe Jersey)

How about a Halloween theme meet on board. Jazzman already has his costume.

Jazzman has entered the building.
 
Jazzman has entered the building and it is moving!
LOL over the ettiquite rules. You all don't live in the right areas for the gun in the pickups back window. And I'll bet you all have your own teeth.
Thanks for the laughs.

Estelle


Prayers for Sophie and her family and for those facing yet another storm.
