Thanks to all -- the last aviation theme suite is finally DONE
Search yourself from Google, and be sure you take advantage of all the
free stuff Google allows. I do, every day. Google is another part of the internet that is going down hill, in my opinion. It used to be that (for example) searching for "Iowa City Hotels" brought up hotels that were actually in Iowa City. Imagine that? Now, Google is taking money from the McHotel chains to gain higher placement in even that simple kind of search. Go Google "Iowa City hotels" and see how many hotels pop up that aren't even located in Iowa City! It's all a sham. Yahoo still works the way a search engine should, BTW. As a result, I use it when I really want honest results. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I'm not a big traveler anymore. My employer has one office and that's
where I work. You and many others, I'm afraid. Business travel has dropped 40% since the election. Our Monday-Friday "bread & butter" business is way, way down from last year. Right now, every hotelier is in a holding pattern, trying to survive and waiting for business to improve. (Or, conversely, waiting for the competition to fold.) Luckily, our unique blend of "getaway weekend", corporate extended stay, and aviation theme suites gives us a three legged stool to sit on that many hotels don't have. (For example: Extended Stay Suites -- or whatever they call themselves now, is in Chapter 11. This is a good example of putting all your eggs in one economic basket...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Someone who has not the foggiest idea of the concept of "snip" is not to be
given credence when criticizing anything. Jim -- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." --Aristotle "Mike Ash" wrote in message ...

SF Sure enough, when I checked in, she asked for my gubmint ID. I SF handed her my PP-SEL and said nothing. She glanced at it, saw SF the hologram and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA across the top, and SF handed it back, again, saying nothing. I don't think they much care about the ID, they give "discounts" for any reason: government employee, member of an professional or interest organization, AAA member, you name it. Nobody pays the rack rate unless they're a rube from Wichita. -- There is no sport in hate when all the rage is on one side. ~ Percy B. Shelley |
