JOR'S SPECIAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAP
jor's got a birthday yes, he/she does always starts freaky friday just because jor's always here on fodors posting away emd wants to wish mr/mrs jor a really big happy birthday AND MANY RAVES TODAY FOR YOU, jor. and same to jersey and AH Rave: Client is going on vacation for 3 wks at end of August/early Sept. I had one week in the OBX planned, but now due to the unexpected free time, am searching for house #2 for a second wk. Haven't done a 2 wk vacation in many years. Rant/Rave: jbmont, so sorry about Cobra- I've been there & used to be a nurse too. Now I do something I like much better that uses my background but isn't patient care, and pays alot more. You have a good attitude, and hopefully whatever ends up happening will be a good change. PamSF: I think I know what Kal might say: "Pammer, why not celebrate by drinking the Russian River Pinots while in the new bathtub?" mclaurie: Here's sending you all the positive travel vibes that can be mustered. You help people going to NY so much (moi included) and I'd like nothing better than to hear that those kids get to come. rant: Will 13 yr old son ever get rid of the smart mouth and get out of the doghouse (his rm.)? I miss him and would like to resume planning for Japan. But two things I don't tolerate-disrespect or lying. Happy travels! |
one more travel rave: Got a free hotel room this week in a brand new suite hotel. At check-in, when we got to the rm. at 11 pmn after a day at an amusement park, the tub wouldn't hold water and the sink wouldn't drain. Called down to desk and was told tough luck, no maintenance person on duty. Mentioned it at check-out and was given the room free due to 100% satisfaction guarantee that I didn't even know existed. Now that's a travel rave.
|
Rave: A week from today my friend and I will be lying by the pool at the Scottsdale Princess as a prelude to an expensive breakfast and shopping ourselves silly (yes, we will throw in some culture too - Heard Museum and Talisin West)... Doing really well in graduate school (after 20 year gap!)in MA Mental Health Counseling program. Current class is especially interesting and professor giving me great feedback
