i'm caught up to pg 515 -whew!
mac - if you're not frozen somewhere under an icestorm now would be a good time for cliff notes![]()
so tired, made dinner & it's time to quit & crawl back on couch.
despite being drenched in latest form of DDT, we were attacked by sand fleas in Hondorus (DH had 52 confirmed hits) while on beach after romp with monkeys in the rain forest.
next day in Belize while tromping thru their version of the rain forest to see mayan pyramids overlooking Guatemala; we were again subjected to several different forms of buggy attacks (did you know their ants make hanging nests in trees? All the better to pounce down on you I suppose).
Next day, i developed an inflamed bug bite; rapidly got worse despite benedryl.
Had to visit ships dr. on Saturday; was running a fever & bite was now a good 4 inches, hot & sore. He deduced i had a bug biteof unknown sources (flea, mosquito - who knows); that was "massively infected". I was given handfuls of different pills & charged nearly $900
beached & moaned something royal & they acknowledged a "pricing mistake" & credited me $700 some odd dollars.
Bite area looking better (although it's scope tends to morph shape from day to day lol), i'm woozy from the meds. Hope to be able to stay awake for more than a few hours very soon and bore the heck outta ya all.
fyi, trip was a weiner! despite the bugs, would go back in an instant.
I believe jodie confirmed the presence of #1 on our room keys (hey, i got carded by jodie); we had fun @ NBA
even DS bellied up to the bar & downed a pizza. Will look @ room keys to try & figure out.
barb - didn't know there were different forms of gold cards. Letter indicates i'm "one of Lowes Hotels' best customers. ha As a result your LoewsFirst membership has been upgraded to our exclusive Gold level."
mentions room availability within 48 hours notice, premium room upgrade, 3 extra hours & upgrade to suite for $35 a night. have a feeling our next stay (the weekend before halloween will be in a "black out" period??? true or false?
Also "your membership will be automatically upgraded to our Platinum level after your 10th stay or 15th night with Loews Hotels"![]()
so, am I "true" gold? Is it permanent?![]()
yak @ you tomorrow![]()
Janet...YES!!!! You are truly, honestly a GOLD LF member now....
