Finally Settled In/Cupcakes
Flight was fine (except for the maximum-seat-reclining man with bronchitis in front of me), weather is fabulous, first hotel was not. There's just no "converting" a smoking room to a non-smoking room, and the efforts of the staff to do so only gave me a splitting headache and a sore throat. Plus, the room was just plain gross. It was so gross that the grossness trumped (read: bitch-slapped) the cheapness of the room and I just had to get out of there.
Now in a cute little vacation rental! Too bad it is only available for 5 out of the 7 nights I'll be here, but I did get a fabulous rate on (what should be) a really nice hotel for the last two nights. A little more than was planned for lodging but I don't feel like I'll be needing some serious decontamination when I lay down on the bed.
So, yay! First "real" day of vacation is about to commence. Whee!
Note to my Chicago peeps: in the Hemispheres magazine I read that on Saturday nights from 9pm to 11pm, the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago has a Cupcake Buffet with a bunch of fancy-schmancy cupcakes (e.g. coconut tres leches; a double-decker Boston cream pie; and a hazelnut praline) for $18. I say we confirm that this is still happening and go forth to sample this miracle for ourselves! Who's with me?

Why are you trying to lure me to your city? AGAIN.

You had me at the phrase "Cupcake Buffet." *g* I'm in.
