Monsieur Panda, we can at least be grateful that he didn't spell it "Le Merde-ian".

The AARP rate for Summerfield Suites (Burlington) is now $125 + taxes. You have to click on "Seniors" on the website for the AARP rate to display. It is a very good rate for a very nice, new hotel and breakfast is included. There are 4 computers in the business center so you can go on Fodors while you are there .

The AARP rate at the Hampton Inn, Cambridge is $349 + taxes. It is within walking distance of the Similan. It is a decent hotel but not worth it at that price unless being close by is really important to you.

Craig:
For those of us who haven't had the pleasure of living in Massachusetts for many years . . . is the Summerfield Suites (Burlington), in Burlington, Vermont or - a bit closer to Boston?
Thanks.

I, too, stayed at the Summerfield. It was a very nice hotel. I think the $125 rate is still very reasonable for the product. It is, after all, a Hyatt property, and the suite is complete with kitchen (even a dishwasher). It was a very nice choice! I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. It is right next to the main highway into Boston. Plus, shopping is very close by. A great location, in my opinion.

tengohambre - I live in Connecticut where there is also a town called Burlington. The Summerfield Suites however, is located in Burlington, Massachusetts just north of Boston.

There are a few B&B's in Cambridge for about $150 per night. They are not within walking distance of either location, but they are near the subway and more scenic than Burlington. If anyone is interested, they can E-mail me at [email protected] .

Plus la change, plus la meme chose.

Speak English, sil-vous-plais. My French is waaaay too rusty to keep up with you guys. I know how to order vin rouge, and I know what chez moi means; plus a few other phrases... lol

They speak French in Scotland? I dug that expression from a forty year memory. The fact that I got any of the words correct is a miracle. Rob, we hope that you will be able to further correct me at the GTG.

The whole point was to communicate in a fashion that would frustrate Bob. erhaps-pay, ig-pay atin-lay ould-way ork-way.

Andy,

Google the "Auld Alliance"--which dates back to just before Bob's birth--sometime in the 13th century.

The Wikipedia entry notes that Scotland gained no recognizable benefit from the first treaty with France. Nonetheless, you all learned the language? Quel domage!

Does everyone see what I'm dealing with? Why Beth, Karen and I are having dinner with the POB on Saturday is a mystery.

Bob, in case you missed it, while you were away, you've been labeld the Prince of Barkness (POB for short).

Does that mean I get to do some rope tricks? Time for Bob to send out the "Waste the Day" cards.

If we tie Andy down, we won't be able to do the one-man speedo modeling contest...

Darn, I am standing up in a wedding that weekend in Wisconsin.
I guess I'll have to wait until 2009...
