Our stay at the Holiday Inn was pretty crappy. First they sent us to a room that was either still occupied, very dirty, or both. We returned to the front desk, where the manager apologized profusely, then laid our key card beside only, extremely slow desk clerk, and disappeared into her office. When we finally secured a clean and unoccupied room, we dropped our bags and headed to the restaurant for a beer and pizza. Both were good. I realized I had left my phone in the room, though, so food photos not starting yet. Cell service in the hotel was nonexistent, and wifi would cut off after about 3 seconds. Couldn’t get TV to change channels until maintenance came to pull the antenna from behind the dresser. Oh, and the $20 per week parking was raised a whopping 150% 2 weeks ago, to $50 per week. So rather than $140, this will cost $350. Hopefully, the worst is behind us. Boarding in just a couple of minutes. See you on the other side!

A few years ago a state senator, also a preacher, tried to get the name of the airport change due to his distaste for the current namesake. The effort failed. This is not a political post, but I figure, love them or hate them, we are exceedingly unlikely to have another president from Arkansas during my lifetime. No offense, Huckabees.

We checked in for Getaway cruise this morning, but the edocs are not yet available, so can't print luggage tags before leaving home. Guess we'll see if we can print at the hotel in NY. Will have to check in for the Dawn cruise while onboard the Prima. We were shooting for 40 pounds or less each in checked luggage, but ended up at about 47 each, plus carry-ons. Ugh. One day I hope to master packing lightly, but the colder weather itinerary makes that difficult for this one.

It's been a busy couple of days getting everything ready. House is now clean, pool is clean, just waiting for towels to dry, then we'll be ready to head to the airport hotel for the night, and our first meal of the trip. Good thing we have several people lined up to help out with the pool, as brother-in-law's blood pressure has gone sky-high, and he is currently in the hospital. Hope they can get it figured out quickly and he can be on the mend.
