Re: Mini-Minneapolis
Meanwhile back at the hotel, this is what is going on.
I have a GREAT WONDERFUL SWEET BEAUTIFUL gf who keeps Mika and Maya for me when I go out of town. She is diabetic and has turned it into a new science. She has researched everything that is good for her and eliminated everything that is bad.
So she and the hubby and kids went to Orlando FL and there she discovered this arnolds sandwhich thin flat bread that has good points for her condition. Problem....the stores in Memphis don't carry it and will not respond to her request.
She really won't let me do much for her in exchange for saving me untold hundreds of dollars and boarding fees, not to mention the peace of mind I feel when away knowing that the girls are happy and well cared for.
So I decide to research if I can find this bread in Minni, and BINGO it's at a store 4 miles from the hotel. I tell the manager (Joan)and she asks me how I am going to get it. I say I will take a cab. She says no,, I will send an employee for it for you, it will be here when you get back. I give her an envelope with the money for the bread and a 10.00 tip for the employee. When I get back the bread is there for me, and she hands me the 10.00 back, REFUSED to take it.
See what I mean?????Comment

Re: Mini-Minneapolis
The housekeeper left us little notes on the hotel scratch pad everyday......welcome enjoy your stay....thank you for the tip you left me....
I have never experienced this before. I have never had someone thank me for the room tips. Even in Jamaica when I leave them everyday I will see the housekeeper on the property, but I never had one say thank you.
The van driver....if they could have been any nicer anywhere I won't believe it. Finally I sit down with the manager to tell her how impressed I am with her hotel. I have stayed at hotels where the rooms were 500.00 a night and not enjoyed my stay as much.
So we have a early flight out the next day, and with sadness I leave Minneapolis behind. I am adding you to my list of great cities to visit in the US, and I WILL be back.
My one regret, Laurel was at work and I didn't get to spend time with her...but next time, and there WILL be a next time.....Oh and Nanook....I did see many many beautiful lakes from the air.Comment

Dearest Laurel
If ever a city made an impression on me it was yours. It makes me better understand your sweet nature having been there, I see it is inherent to your area. There are some wonderful people there. The south could take a lesson, and we are supposedly know for OUR hospitality.Comment
