Hotel Ira

Just browsing for fun on Trip Advisor for Santorini, and see that there is a hotel in Firostefani named Hotel Ira. Imagine that! And Ira never told us!

Well, with the US government always making a big deal about how much money you'll save if you donate to IRA, I'm not surprised he could afford to buy a hotel.

Ou est Ira? Counting his kickbacks from the Hotel Bonaparte, maybe.

You posted about this just a few days ago, Gradyghost? Nope, missed it, and even did search before I posted, just to make sure this wasn't old news. Sorry!

I can't believe Ira hasn't jumped into this thread yet.

WHERE ARE YOU, IRA??

What can he possibly be doing that's more important than Fodoring?

Thanks, TA.

I have been travelling.

I looked up the hotel. The owner's seem to have excellent taste, especially in the choice of name.

&gt;Is our Ira in Boca perhaps?&lt;

Yes.

We visit my Lady Wife's Aunt here. It also gives us a chance to rev up from the quiet lifestyle we pursue in Madison, GA.

A short note for those who think Europe is expensive.

On the way down we stopped for the night in Ocala at a place that we have stayed before because they have coupons for $44/nite.

This time, because there was a biker convention in town, it was $97 plus tax. It would have been $127 +, but we are &quot;regulars&quot;.

For that kind of money you can get a room overlooking the Dordogne River with bkfst and dinner for two, in season.
