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! :-)

I thought the Hotel Bonaparte in Paris was aka the Hotel Ira
:)

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.

OMG, these are awesome!

Where is dear ira, do you imagine?

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

Hello Grandmere:

You're way behind on this topic. Didn't you see my post:

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!

P_M Mar 1st, 2005 06:06 PM

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?

Beatchick Mar 1st, 2005 06:28 PM

Oh, elle, that was fantastique! Our dear friend, Capo, would certainly approve!! Bises!!

TexasAggie Mar 2nd, 2005 12:39 PM

topping for ira now that he is back on the boards

ira Mar 2nd, 2005 12:45 PM

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.

Is our Ira in Boca perhaps?

Patrick is &quot;on&quot; today! Blew my coffee out of my nose on the Traveler Check post from trophywife...

his little aside! HAHARRRHARR

&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.
