No guests now . . . guess they're all asleep.

 

Speaking of guests, I'm on vacation!!! I'm staying at a Drury Suites and absolutely loving it. Anyone else have a favorite hotel brand/chain they've stayed at, or just a really cool hotel in their area that they like?

Ooh, awesome! I love hotels. No specific chain/brand really, I love any place with room service in general to be honest. No cooking nor cleaning equals happiness for me. :D

I stayed up really late last night...

I've went over two days without sleep at least twice...

But I got upset about it. Before that, I didn't really want to go to a place to eat. Then the night before, I didn't want to be the first to sit at the table. And yet I want to be the first to get up in the mornings at my Dad's. Must be something to do with my problem.

Regular hotels, my favorite would be the Marriott.

 

My favorite hotel of all time that I've stayed in would be the Queen Mary, in Long Beach, CA. It's an old cruise liner that was often compared to the Titanic, though not quite considered a sister ship to the Titanic. It's now permanently placed in a harbor in Long Beach and was restored to be a hotel. (Next to it is the Russian sub, Scorpion, that you can tour.) If anyone is curious, the website for it is HERE.

Not so much hotel, or rather, not a hotel at all.

 

I had a farm stay at Macca Farm in Tasmania. That was A W E S O M E. <3 We got to pick the (freshly laid) eggs for breakfast, even. :D

 

And on the same trip, I went to Cradle Mountain.

Beautiful.

The Doc is in the building.... again! :D

Sweetdang~ Wow, it sounds amazing. xD I've never been to very 'nature' places for holiday, we get enough nature here with all the very long pristine natural beaches and unpolluted sea and huge cliffs and mussels at the bottom. (I live on a cliff.) And there's farms all over the place as well. We always go to China, so we usually pick somewhere like Hong Kong or Shanghai, get some city life. xD

 

Btw, anyone rate my sig/av please? :*

Im getting a broken image for your sig...

 

But your avvie is beautiful. ;) 10.1/10!

Eh? My sig works for me... :O Browser?

 

Thanks. I think the sig is better.

I rated it 9.5/10.

 

If only you capitalized "t" in Tina. xD I don't know why I care, I just do. :P Other than that, the glistening pink orchids are just absolutely beautiful.

Did you see any ghosts while you were there? :P They say that ship is haunted. I have yet to go see the ship, and I live only about 1 hour drive away from it. Pretty sad... LOL :laughingsmiley:

55 Guests including Yahoo were stalking this thread. :O Maybe there are ghosts amongst them... *eerie background music*

EEK! *hides*

I missed seeing you around TDN, Doc.

 

Also Tina, your signature/avatar set gets a perfect 10/10 from me, and I was enjoying Spritzie's set that SEAP made her (also decent).

Who made your set, Tina? I want to know. :guiltysmiley:

True to my word, I'm still hanging about.

 

I kind of have to go now, though. :/

The Doc is in the building.... again! :D

 

Welcome back... again, Doc. :D Stick around this time. :P

My dad and I were actually there for a cruise leaving from Long Beach, so the cruise company made a deal with the Queen Mary for discounts on the stays, so that's how I ended up there.

 

No I didn't. Though some stupid stuff happened while we were there. My dad wakes up super early (4-5am) so he went roaming around the area with his camera while I slept. I woke up to the alarm going off on our first night. I was seriously annoyed that we didn't think to make sure the last people shut it off. I was thinking of trying to just ignore it and go back to sleep, when an announcement came over the system, saying to evacuate. (It was actually the fire alarm.) So I got dressed super quick, only to get to the front desk, and have them say it was a false alarm. (Some kids pulled one of the alarms.) While I was by the desk, my dad had gone to the room looking for me and I wasn't there. By the time I got back to the room, he'd left to try to find me. :laughingsmiley:

 

They were doing the ghost tours, but we didn't get to go.

Haha, that sounds like a crazy trip Spritzie. I've tended to stay in the cheapest hotels whenever we needed to stay somewhere. :whistle: Although I did enjoy the double tree hotel when we stayed there since they had chocolate chip cookies for you at the desk whenever you wanted one :yum:

We always do the same thing, but my dad decided since the Queen Mary was giving us a deal, it would make for a really cool experience. When we went on a cruise out of Miami the year before, we stayed at one of the cheapest, non-gross, places we could find.

That does sounds pretty cool. I've never been on a cruise before, don't know if I ever will either, never say never I suppose.

I've always wanted to go on a Disney cruise, and an Alaskan cruise. Both of the cruises I went on were concert cruises. That's the only reason I went. I managed to talk my dad into going with me, because my best friend couldn't. Well, at least the first year. With the second year, the first year worked out so perfectly, I didn't even ask my best friend, I just asked my dad.

That's really cool that you and your dad could enjoy something like that together.

 

Once again, I'm stuck in the "I don't know what to eat and now that I've waited I don't know whether to eat breakfast or lunch" mode again <_<

Spending a good amount of quality time with my dad was something I never really got to do a lot of. He always worked a lot, and when he was home, we find of ending up paring off a bit. I did more stuff with my mom, while my sister did more stuff with him. The only times I really did a lot with my dad was when it was band related (my dad's family was big into band, plus we'd do duets and such back when I was playing) and the whole Bring-Your-Daughter-to-Work Day stuff. I used to go with my dad for the day, every year.

 

Breakfast foods are perfectly acceptable for breakfast, or lunch. Or dinner. :yes:

Mhm! I pretty much eat waffles at any time during the day.
