Silver Springs MD
Safely ensconced in our hotel room. Wine, cheese, fruit, crackers and little miniature apple raisin danishes from Whole Foods, the Stanley Cup final on tv, and the companionship of travellingone what more could a fangrrrl ask for? ;-)
Dinner was had an the Adis Abbaba restuarant which is Ethiopian and a favourite of our gracious hostess meri_oddities. This of course only after we couldn't get into our hotel room when we got here, and Meri was still driving the rental car and was supposed to stop and pick up her's from the repair shop which turned into a complete comedy of errors.
We now have two tv's in our room, which features a plethora pillows, and pretty good tv reception as hotels go. (Go Hurricanes)!
We have also discovered a new to us Sephora clone where many unavailable in Canada Neutrogena products were procured. Barnes and Noble and Starbucks has been located as well.
The flight here was uneventful despite travellingone's massive attempts to throw a spanner in the works. (If you don't believe me just go check out her latest lj entry).
Oh, and calemiri we are still being stalked by Australian things. *bg* When we finally got to check in the fellow waiting on us was wearing a little golden kangaroo on his lapel. While in the wine/beer/cafe and looking for a bottle of chardonnay one of the three available had blue kangaroo's on the label. Nice to know the tradition continues.
Tomorrow we've got a con sweet run to Whole Foods with Meri, then dinner with widget285 and greensilver and who ever else we can con into joining us.
