Well my guess was a good 'un and there was no internet until I got back to the UK. this is a very swift report which I shall flesh out from sunny Pertyck later.
Monday night's hotel was gorgeous and oh so different from the Marriott. The Royal is a series of building in the FQ which were renovated and turned into a hotel less than 12 months ago. Each room has been stripped back to the bare stone which is whitewashed and there is a black hardwood floor throughout. The (huge) bed is black, with white bedlinen. At the end of the bed is a (huger!) plasma TV and iPhone docking station. In the ensuite bathroom, there is a marble washbasin and ditto shower which is big enough for half of the Scottish rugby team!.
The whole place is lit with really cool mood lighting - very trendy!! To boot, the view from the veranda looks down on a lovely courtyard with a wee tinkly fountain.......... aaaaaaaaaaah!
Thus far I have made it back as far as Heathrow but am in the throes of a 5 & a 1/2 hour sit before my Glasgow flight leaves. Harumph. It eventually came to an end and I finally got home around 2:30pm - again, almost exactly 22 hours after leaving New Orleans. Gosh, did I ever sleep well that night!!!
At times like this, one buys a respectable newspaper, reads it cover to cover (supplements an' all), and ATTEMPTS THE CROSSWORDS. Time will fly.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be home by the time you get this - well, at least, I hope you will be and that your predicted five and a half hour wait hasn't increased exponentially!! I was wondering what happened to day five? Did you lose that on the plane? Will it end up in the left luggage office? 8-) Let's hope it catches up with you on the glasgow flight, hehe. Look forward to the next installment. Sxx
