Champions

 


A sports bar and restaurant in the hotel called Champions where I sat down to a late lunch or early supper. No snacks for the hoi palloi on the plane because of what the pilot called a "bumpy ride." Not sure the Biscoff cookies the crew nevertheless handed out to the first class passengers would have been worth the extra fare. Made the price I paid for my salmon salad at Champions seem quite economical by comparison. :-)

Housekeeping

 


Well, you know I'm always interested in how professionals handle routine housekeeping chores, mostly in order to see if I can learn any new tricks of my own. In this case, I was not entirely "im-pressed" by the bed cover. Seems to me it could have used a couple more passes with an iron. Maybe because the front desk bumped me up to the top floor after discovering I needed a feather-free room? I will say, though, that the sofa gave me one of the most comfortable afternoon naps I've had in a long time. And the accompanying writing stand--was just what I need to jot down some quick notes.
