Well, your lovely wife is in the "Blackbird Suite" -- our 450 sq ft
jacuzzi suite tribute to the SR-71 Blackbird.

I'm not sure where *you* will be sleeping.... ;-)



We enjoyed our stay in the Stearman Suite (earlier this spring) for a
number of reasons:

1. Suite was very nice.
2. Suite was very big.
3. Car was right outside our door.
4. We didn't have to wear space suits to bed.

The SR-71 required the pilot to wear what was, in essence, a space suit.
THe implication was that anybody that stays in the Blackbird Suite has to
wear a space suit while staying in that suite. That would make certain
maneuvers ... interesting to work out.

Just wait till our Apollo Suite is done.

Heh, heh, heh...ahem.

(All we've got to do is get these pesky guests to quit reserving the
danged thing every week, and we'd have it *done* by now!)

I taught a very small part of stew school for the airlines. I remember
during coffee break somebody explaining the mile high club to this newhire
trainee ... and she asked how high the XYZ motel was in Idyllwild.

It looks like she was a ground crew member of the Mile High Club:

Elevation:
Idyllwild is about 5,300 feet above sea level. Nearby communities
range from 5,300 feet to 6,500 feet.

You should have sent her he

Um, this was back in the '60s, when such things weren't widely advertised.
Besides, I was a 20 year old college junior with a brand new fiancee and
didn't want to rock the boat...

Besides, she wasn't all that hot...
