To Judy24...

No, I have not read that one... but I do apologize (sp?) to everyone who took my post in the wrong way... I did not mean it to be intrusive or to make anyone uncomfortable.... Just trying to have a conversation. I will stick to location specific subjects from now on...

Muffin?

Muffin's all gone. Burp!!

There is a post here, pre-registration by Neal Sanders. Well written, very desciptive of an abusive relationship going on in the next room. Police were called. Horrifying. I haven't read it in a few years, but it has stayed with me. When you go on vacation, you don't leave troubles at home.

That Dave Barry story came up in Fodors a few years ago. 2002 I think. The reason I remember was my brother and I spent a long weekend at the Pennsylvania and noted teh stained walls and somewhat nasty bathrooms. Did not bother us much as the price was right ($90 per night). The story ran in the Sunday Boston Globe magazine the SUnday we returned.

To answer the question: Why not knock on the door and ask if you can join in.

I stayed in a hotel last fall for a business weekend. On the second day they moved in an entire high school football team still in their uniforms onto my floor who had just won the state football championship. I was the only non-football player on the floor. Oooohh did I call the front desk. I got moved to another floor in a heart beat after being tackled in the hallway.
