Hilton Garden Inn's are the closest hotels I found to the "list of perfection"! They have constant coffee and warm cookies at night, auto doors, accessible outlets, free internet, down pillows, but no fitted sheets, and an awesome breakfast buffet!<br />I just Xed a fairfield inn off my list in Qunicy, IL for having doubledoors that do not open automatically. What are they thinking?I think I left marks on their doors with my luggage and I have battlewounds also!<br />No stairs for me, I would pass out......<br />Enjoy the rest of your trip. If you get close to Rochester, NH, there is an awesome lobster place called Newicks that is on the water- beautiful.Jonathan would die. He must try a lobster roll for lunch.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021283148157918007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965439526573149462.post-73944422750646338092009-06-23T11:36:03.773-07:002009-06-23T11:36:03.773-07:00Y'all must not have a cell signal.

You're just a few days away.<br />**Be safe and remember you are being prayed for.Marmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866708761469374300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965439526573149462.post-35819821155690851292009-06-22T19:38:18.592-07:002009-06-22T19:38:18.592-07:00I cannot believe you didn't even comment on th...I cannot believe you didn't even comment on the last picture you posted - I had no idea you were near Loch Ness. The Loch Ness monster looks a little smaller than I had been led to believe, and I also did not know there was a baby Loch Ness monster. Sometimes television does not tell you the whole story. I support your ideas that are really Margaret's ideas. Here are my additions:<br /><br />1. I would make the doors light up and make a loud air-horn type noise whenever someone first came through to make them jump. That oughta cause some fun.<br /><br />2. I would also equip every room with 10 aerosol cans with instructions to spray them into the atmosphere whenever you feel like it. And maybe put an ax in each room so you could cut down trees in the motel yard. Or cut down trees in someone else's yard.<br /><br />3. No soft music - too tepid. How about disco, and a giant disco ball comes down out of the ceiling every time someone rents a queen-sized room, and maybe a group of those Rockette girls come out and do a kick-dance while confetti explodes all around you? That would be something to talk about. <br /><br />5. Coffee and tea are for sissies. How about free Dr. Pepper 24/7? Made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. And free Little Debbies. And movie popcorn. <br /><br />7. If you don't have wireless internet, how about a list of other available wireless internet originating from say, another business or someone's house that you can pick up while you're at the motel that you can have for free? That would be thoughtful.<br /><br />8. Or, if you don't smoke, just so you can feel like you fit in, have a motel employee who will volunteer to smoke for you. That seems courteous.<br /><br />9. I must disagree. I think all employees should have wild hair, beards/goatees and wear sunglasses at all times, even in the evening. And should be drinking Dr. Pepper. And be able to quote lines from movies. This would make me feel much more comfortable. <br /><br />10. Elevators, schmelavators. If we would all use our ability to fly, we would not need elevators. Aliens have implanted us with this ability, but it is being covered up by the government. If I owned a motel, I would encourage people to rise up and throw off the shackles of tyranny and oppression and try jumping off the 6th story balcony to jump-start their flight powers. That would be pretty newsworthy and get lots of publicity for your motel.trandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153470315549437483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965439526573149462.post-85920990122646525042009-06-22T19:05:54.260-07:002009-06-22T19:05:54.260-07:00I'm just now seeing a bruise disappear from a ...I'm just now seeing a bruise disappear from a non-automatic door in Red Wing, MN! I know what mom is talking about. I hope the next couple of days are real good to you and Jonathan. I sure hope you touch down in the Atlantic on Saturday. Sunday would be okay, too! Be safe and I will see you this weekend. Love y'all!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17991534008528467113noreply@blogger.com
