Beware! Why I am Never Going To Mars Again!
last time we went to Mars, when my husband tried to get us upgraded, they put us in this room with no oxygen. All he did was stand at the desk, politely waiting for someone who spoke Earthling to help us. But Nooooo they just chatted among themselves, ignored us completely!
So he said Heellooooo?
Nothing.
So he said Helllooooo!
One of them tapped the desk and said something, but Hey! I am an Earthling! We spoke English!!
Then next thing we knew, they hustled us off, pointing to buttons on walls all the way to the room, where we had NO oxygen!!
Do you know how uncomfortable that is???
I am writing a letter to the hotel Management, you better belive me!

My Mars Trip Report:
We went to Mars a long time ago. I hope it has changed some by now.
We stayed at a very nice Martian B&B..read about it in all the Glamour magazines.
It was a lovely place, but the owner had this little Martian dog that followed us around wherever we went!
Nipping at my heels the entire time!!
Our room was lovely-a huge bath for me to soak in for hours, a bottle of special Martian wine for my husband and I to sip while soaking in that big tub, a plate of lovely biscuits to crunch on while in the bath, with the Martian dog watching every move we made.
We had arranged for reservations for dinner at a wonderful restaurant through the owners wife.
Course after course arrived, each with a wine that was faaaabulous ...
I excused myself to go to the ladies room when that little dog nipped me again on the leg! Hard!!
I asked the waitress to tell the owner. She apologized and told the owner. That was it!!??
I told the waitress that I thought the owner could at least offer us a bottle of wine, a free meal, maybe a pound of those lovely biscuits they serve with tea..
But no!! an apology was all I got! The Nerve!!
Ha! Not only will I never stay in this awful place again, but I will tell everyone detail by detail, about every bite I took, every step I took and I am sure everyone will be as fascinated by me and I am!!

No, honey, no visits to any storage facilities

After my upsetting episode with that little Martian Mutt, I had to go back to my room and soak some more in the big tub. Thank Heavens they have LUSH bath products on Mars!!
We did eat wonderful meals while there, but these Fodors posts only allow so many words per post and there is not enough room for me to properly describe every yummy morsel.
For those who have this concern:
I did find that it is easy to just drop your laundry off in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day. They have shuttles to Venus where the water is soft and our clothes came back ever so neat and clean~

Can't wait for a Mars reality show. The bitchiest whinners and manipulative jerks get kicked off of Mars and sent into outer space one-by-one. the last one standing gets to come back to earth.
Corporate sponsors could flip the bill for all the travel and research instead of tax payers. Does anyone remember when Pizza Hut payed the Russian space program millions to put their logo on a rocket which was used to service Mir?
How about a group of contestants including Hillary Clinton, Paula Jones, George Bush, Benny Hin, Micheal Moore, Al Sharpten, Oprah, Keith Richards, Cathy Lee Gifford, Rush Limbough, Queen Elizabeth, and Bill Gates. \

I hear that the recent consensus is to stay away from the new Mars 2112 restaurant.
Apparently, the one on Earth may have issues with vermint. Although you needn't worry about vermint on Mars, there have been cases of loose vermin being imported from Earth that could create damaging ecological issues in the future.
A recent edict was pronounced that visitors from Earth must keep all vermin caged. Or, better yet, don't bring them at all and have a neighbor watch them while you're away.

Is it Thursday yet? I wonder where Ol' PDQ is now?
