How funny! I went to my first truly posh hotel in January and couldn't stop talking about the automatic lights in the closet! It was like magic. Or a butler inside, just waiting to turn the light on for you. :D

You've made me so homesick for my best friend. She lives in Australia and I now live in the States. Helen, you are my best friend forever. I miss you.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me laugh so much, I love the way you just tell it as it is. Have a good trip back, with all your lovely memories and photo's to share.

I hope your trip home was safe! -- Looking forward to more of your fantastic tales and pictures!
ReplyDeletei'm glad to read you had such a lovely time - even more glad there was neither pee, nor poop involved.
ReplyDeleteI love a good chick flick. There's a great book called Cinema Therapy, look up what mood you're in and it has list of chick flicks perfect for the occasion. All you need is a cup of hot cocoa and your favorite fuzzy slippers.
