DAY 6 Part Deux yet another invisible ink warning!
Well my massage is finished a bit before NSalzs so Josie takes me back to the dimly lit lounge, tells me I can sit as long as Id like, and use the spa facilities for the remainder of the day, if Id like. So I sit and relax for a bit and then NSalz comes back with Tim. I think if she didnt love RSalz so much she would have considered running away with Tim! We sit in peaceful solitude for a bit and then I ask her if she wants to take her shower first or if she would like me to. She says she just wants to enjoy relaxing for a bit more so I should go ahead and take my shower first. (Bad decision on her part!) So off I go to the absolutely glorious shower in the Grand Floridian Spa. The shower is really kind of a two room deal. The changing area is bigger than my entire bathroom. It is huge!!!!! It is all done in that Italian style tile I wrote about earlier and it has a wonderfully large bench of the same tile. I tell ya I could live in this room! The shower stall itself is just about the same size with a huge shower head so there is plenty of water pouring down on me
heaven. Well I turn on the shower and have a bit of trouble adjusting it
.remember these fixtures are like the house beautiful magazine faucets, and Im not used to this, being the humble chick of small paycheck that I am! But I get it adjusted and have a glorious shower and hair wash. Those oils feel wonderful, but dont make for the most attractive hairstyle! Kinda reminds me of 6th grade when I took a bath with bath oil and didnt realize that it would make my hair all greasy and Mom made me go to school with the greasy hair anyway!
So after a nice long shower, I finally decide, I should really let NSalz have a turn, so I turn off the water and the faucet comes off in my hand!!!!!
I have the distinction of having broken the Grand Floridian Spa!!!!!!!!
And its the only shower in the womens section.
Well I try to put the dang thing back on, but it is not cooperating!!
At All! I fumble, I drop it, I fumble some more
.nothing is going to work here! Now remember I just turned off the water so Im doing this nakey!!!! Not a pretty site. Well at this point I just start laughing hysterically.
These things do not happen to me. What do I do and where the heck is that nice attendant who spent so much time putting magazines away
.no one is checking the womans area now!!!!!
Well eventually NSalz comes into the shower area, I guess shes worried because Ive been in the shower so long, or maybe she just was finished reading all the magazines! Who knows! She is asking me if Im ok and I cannot answer because I am laughing too hard.
So there she is on one side of the curtain, worrying about me, she thought I was crying, and there I am on the other side of the curtain laughing so hard I am almost hyperventilating. She keeps saying Are you ok? Are you ok? Well at this point I am Laughing, with tears streaming down my face, and I just cannot speak, but I know she is really worried, so I do the only thing I can do
I stick my hand outside of the curtain and had her the faucet. At which point she starts laughing hysterically and says Im coming in! Well you can just try to picture us together in this dressing room, NSalz in her robe with oily hair and me all clean and sparkly, but butt naked, laughing hysterically and trying to fix the Grand Floridian Spa shower
.to no avail!
Well we know its a lost cause so I put on my robe and go to the locker area to get dressed. NSalz had been in the locker room earlier, while I was in the shower and there was a woman there who could not make her locker open. She was sure of the combination and it would not open! She went to get the attendant who came to open it, nope not her locker. So the attendant tried lots of other lockers until she found her stuff. The woman was also laughing pretty hard at this point, because her actual locker was a corner locker in a very easy place to remember. She told NSalz that she really isnt an airhead and that in her real life she is an engineer! I guess ya just cant let lawyers and engineers loose in the spa
especially on the same day. Well the attendant was there, so I gave her the faucet! Turns out the screw was stripped
not my fault
so there!
Well NSalz goes to the sink area and starts to wash her hair in one of the sinks to get all those oils out! A rather snooty woman comes in and says to me Is she washing her hair in the sink?
Obviously she was quite disgusted by this. I just said yup, seems somebody broke the shower!
So I go out to the lobby to take care of my bill while NSalz clogs the sink with her blonde hair! While in the lobby I scored they had a nail polish clearance sale and I picked up 2 bottles of my favorite color OPIs Suzi sells sushi by the seashore!!!!
NSalz and I walked back to the Grand Floridian got the monorail back to the Mk and then bussed over to the Boardwalk, laughing the entire way! I hope you folks enjoyed this story. I know its kind of a location thing...you know you had to be there. I laughed so hard writing this that I had to call NSalz and tell her what I was writing she immediately started laughing too.
SO we tried to relay the story to our families, but really couldnt do it any justice, because we were still laughing to hard to talk properly.
The birthday celebration continued that evening, we gave the kids $$$ for Pizza and snacks to have an in room party and the Salzs, DH & I went to Marrakesh in Morocco for dinner. It was a lot of fun and they brought us all a huge delicious dessert to share and sang Happy Birthday to NSalz.
All the servers at this restaurant are men, so picture a bunch of college guys in Fezs singing Happy Birthday! We had a great time and then went back checked on the kids and then headed to the Bellevue lounge at the BWI for some after dinner drinks.
I dont think Ive ever spent a day with NSalz that hasnt been fun, but this was absolutely the best day we ever spent together!
Everyone joining me in wishing NSalz a Happy 41st birthday, which is now only about 1½ hours away!
I can't believe how accurate you are PD. I forgot about getting us lost, the attendent taking my magazine, and buying the umbrellas.
. Then all of us girls walked over to Crystal Palace to wait for the guys, who seemed to be taking an extraordinarily long time to get those fastpasses. The guys met us on the porch of CP, turns out the fast pass time return was too early when they got to Splash and would have interfered with lunch so they waited until the fastpass time was later so we would not need to rush. They get bonus points!
. We had the absolute best waiter of all time for this lunch. I cannot remember his name
Im pretty bad about that sort of thing. He was an older gentleman, who could not have been any nicer! We sat at 2 tables right next to one another so we were all together. He had the girls sit at one table and the adults at the other. He brought over Pixie Dust for all of us. 
and it was pretty hot
