One available normally so I end up having to charge a laptop or phone in the bathroom if I forget my extender! :rolleyes:

Agreed. Certain Sheratons have the same issues.

:D I was only 11, so that is still a bit of a child. It was a year and a half before I started my own business even.

I am watching a local station talk about healthier food for school kids. They've taken pizza and made it with whole wheat and a few veggies and claimed it to be better... :rolleyes:

It's like having a salad with a thick slathering of ranch dressing.

Hah, if only wishing made it so. There is an exceptional level of :rolleyes: in the forum today; people need to calm down wait for official information to be released. Posting yet another thread serves no purpose.

I'm very curious to see partner earning rates, but I know that such numbers will only be released upon completion of those individual bilateral deals.

I'm wondering if I should send something to Marriott Concierge.

After you (rightfully, might I add) schooled the hotel, I can't imagine that they would be too prompt in filing the necessary stuff to admit their wrongheadedness.

fozz, my email to you last night got returned as undeliverable. The Novotel Ningaloo Resort is part of Accor's 72-Hour Asia/Pacific Sale. I think there is a "feature" in the way they loaded rates. All room types at the hotel (including 1BR and 2BR Oceanfront Apartments/Bungalows that usually go for $315-$500/night) are pricing out at $87 USD/night, through EOS. You have to be logged in to your A|Club Account to see the sale rates.

I booked a 1BR Bungalow, and can definitely room-share if Hemispheriphobia DO gets off the ground, and if there's interest in doing so.

ETA - Fully prepaid and nonrefundable rates. Considering that regular rooms at the hotel generally go for $225/night, it ain't a bad deal.

Weird, i just sent a PM over with email addys.

Very tempting, i'm just hesitant since they are non refundable. I may just have to do a room share. I still have yet to take a bit to figure out the A-club stuff... soon soon.

No shortage of outlets at the Westin Minneapolis. The number of outlets at all hotels seem to be hit or miss.

I'm noticing more and more lamps with a power outlet at the base, I love that. ^

The desk here actually has a whole row of outlets built in to the front of it - that's kind of nice as well.

OK, I'm now on the "too many Star threads" bandwagon. After reading the first page of the forum, you would really think that these people think that "Wait until 10/27" does not apply to THEIR question, which of course is MORE important than anyone else's.

Would it be in poor taste to start a thread titled "Consolidated home for all goofball Star questions" and then RBP all the goofy threads? I'm thinking that if I did that, the charter flight service crew would shun me like an Amish that didn't come back to the village.

Greetings from the ramp in SAT. IAH is currently closed, all departures are held and all arrivals are either holding or being diverted.

My estimated arrival LAX is now :rolleyes:.

Anglo Large Clawed Otter Oct 26, 2009 8:46 am

It's a shame you can't use Accor Certs to pay a pre-paid rate. Guess I'll have to run up a hefty Room-Service and Spa tab. :D

ConciergeMike Oct 26, 2009 8:47 am

Oh, and it seems that our resident CO pilot friend has gotten a little fed up with the community. Can't say at all that I blame him for that.

You may want to see if they can reroute you on someone else (doubtful since it's weather :rolleyes:) because the weather is forecasted to stay over us for at least two more hours.

ETA: Just noticed you're on the ramp. If they let you off the plane, you may want to ask about it.
