We like an occasional room service breakfast, particularly on the last

Marriotts usually have a pretty good breakfast.


Many folks are angry over Marriots stance on rehoteling Cuba.

Why?

This should help get you started on understanding.

Right wing screeds don't add to understanding the opposition to gradual
normalization of relations with Cuba.

Ok. We made a extraordinary offer. What will the regime offer in return.
Remember, our interest is in the welfare of Cuba's population.

Not me. I have been saying for years, there is nothing wrong with Cuba
that Bill Marriott and Steve Wynn couldn't fix.


:-) Perhaps they could extend their benevolence at home first.

If they get any significant amount of American tourism, they will hear
more of the truth about what is going on in the real world


We can only hope.

"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

--- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I think it applies even though I don't really consider Cuba to be an
enemy, just a misguided neighbor. In my opinion we have more to gain
by normalizing relations than we do by continuing the trade embargo
and travel bans.

It would have happened sooner except for the large population of Cuban
ex-pats in this country who still cling to the belief that they can go
back some day and reclaim their seized property.

Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You
jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we
were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that
works for you. Yeah me neither ;-)
There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them.
They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and
walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking.

Sounds like a great place to take an RV.

Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night
or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV.



The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum,
clean the bathroom, take out the trash? :)

In an RV, doing all that takes only about a half hour. Not worth
hiring a maid for.

Really depends on the quality of the hotel you choose. For example the
place I stayed in South Carolina was outstanding. Clean and bug free.

When we had the house in Florida we bought a brand new Pace Arrow Class
A motor home thinking it would be ideal to travel back and forth to MA
in. Put in a concrete slab in the yard in Florida and ran power to it
underground. We drove it down there shortly after we bought it and
within a month it had more creepy-crawlies living in it than anything
I've ever seen in a hotel or house for that matter. Those Florida ants
made a huge nest in one of the overhead compartments above the driver's
seat. Had to fumigate the RV to get rid of them all.

Later with the Sprinter a chipmunk family made themselves at home in the
compartment behind the TV. I notice some red stains on the walls
under the TV one day and pulled the TV out. The chipmunks had stored
red berries from some kind of tree on our property in the compartment
along with piles of "bedding" material. They also chewed through
several of the video and audio cables for the TV so it no longer worked.
Another multi-day project of cleaning, shampooing and
rewiring.

One problem with an RV is that if you aren't in it and using it
regularly many little creatures will make themselves at home.
If motorized, it's important to check under the hood too. Mice love
making nests in the engine compartment, usually in the air intake
manifolding for the engine.

We like an occasional room service breakfast, particularly on the last
day before we fly out.
Marriotts usually have a pretty good breakfast.



We've done the RV thing several times with several different types of
RV's ranging from Class A motorhomes, Class C rigs and a 37 foot fifth
wheel rig. The last one we had was the little Sprinter which was just
too small for even two people.

Although I can appreciate why those who travel and camp at RV places
enjoy it, I agree with Harry on this. A nice hotel is the way to go.
It's not like I haven't tried the RV travel and campsite scene. It just
isn't for me. You are restricted from some roads, you are dependent on
campsites, truck stops and WalMart parking lots and, as I found out,
RV's require as much maintenance and upkeep as a boat.

On this trip to SC, Mrs.E., with the best of intentions, rented a
"Kamping Kabin" for me at a KOA for 14 days that is not too far from
where my son and his family live in SC. I could have stayed at their
house but I like privacy sometimes and with four kids they already had
their hands full getting ready for Christmas.

I got to the KOA and checked into the Kamping Kabin. Very cute. Had a
tiny refrig, microwave, heat and AC. It was on a lake that was
very picturesque. I lasted two nights. The water had sand it it, the
bed was terrible and the TV didn't work. At night my idea of relaxing
isn't sitting around a campfire drinking beer and singing "Home on the
Range".

I checked out after two days and moved to a suite in a Homewood Suites
(Hilton) even closer to where they live. Homewood Suites are designed
for long term stays and had a living room, separate bedroom with a very
comfortable king sized bed, two TV's that worked, a full kitchen with
stove, microwave, dishwasher and full sized refrig. Best of all, they
served a fantastic, free breakfast and dinner every day that were as
good or better than anything I've had at decent restaurants. Christmas
eve was a full course turkey dinner with all the fixin's and even
included wine and beer for those who drink. It's all made from scratch
on site by a staff cook who comes out of the kitchen and mingles with
the customers. It was great.
