I love hotels!
When I was a little girl, we used to visit my grandmother who lived in a tiny flat and we had to stay at the hotel near the railway station. I particularly remember the red carpet in the staircase :smile: it was pure magic!
I am sure my love for hotels comes from that terrific memory.
Funny because when I talked about it with my brother, he said he has hated hotels since we spent nights there and rolled his eyes when he heard about the carpet!:hrmm::hrmm:

Well, who DIDNT want to be Eloise? Some days I still do [emoji41]

ahhh that sounds cosy and warm and like a good memory! I guess if I had such a memory I'd see that hotel-thing in a much nicer way.

Me, definitely! I even dressed as Eloise one year for Halloween!
One year my parents took me to have tea at the Plaza Hotel for my birthday. I was probably 12 or 13. (We lived in a suburb of NYC, so going into the city was easy.) I was in heaven! :hbeat:
Do you remember how she would order breakfast from room service? :giggle:

No demons will bother you in 2017!:tup:

Island police attempted to stop Ugly Jack's current buy-the-bag mayhem.

But, alas. Grabbed the wrong character.
Ugly Jack remains loose, wafting his siren songs from longchamp store.;)

Amazingly I like the Gucci the most. What does the year of the rooster bring with it? Is there anything special?

Is in element of fire, for 2017. So fire rooster year.
Tastes as baked chicken, but with lion dances.:roflmfao:(joke)
Seriously, here is zodiac sign information:

After 2016 mischief, as monkey year, rooster is most welcome.:biggrin:

yes and I do that with Salzburg each Tuesday.. 3.5 hours in one direction. So I guess that is enough, isn't it?

No hotels for me. I hate them. I'm always anxious. Don't know where that comes from but i simply do not feel safe. But I love airbnb. That was created for people like me. And staying there for the week--- naaaaaaa, I'm too old for that. 20 years ago I would have killed for that.


Ok, Thursday it is.. I'll refresh tpf every minute as I bet there will be a bag- reveal ;)

I am more stressed with the travel itself. Hotels are ok (as long as they are clean).
