4. this place was a dump! walls are too obstructing & windows are placed in odd places. what an eye sore! also smells like dirty hookah water.
6. hole in the wall resort with sufficient area to land 2 helicopters if needed for quick access. No phone or internet service......Blah. Do not intend to come back ever again.
7. I booked a stay here because I thought it would be a secluded get away. I could not sleep with all the helicopters and gun shots, This was supposed to be a safe place. I would not recommend it as a hide out. The caves of Afghanistan are a much better place to hide out. Pros: good person to person courier service Cons: Poor Security, Neighbors do not mind their own business
8. In one word "nasty". The place smelled of bad B.O. and goat urine. The brouchure stated that it was a nice secluded romantic getaway. Secluded yes! romantic not so much. The food was awful and the service was terrible. Very rude staff it's like they hate Americans or something. We did meet this nice gentleman named Osama something or other but he shared a room with a goat so that was kinda strange but he left in the middle of the night after some kind of confrontation. I guess his credit card wasn't approved.
WD, now that was funny!! thank you so much
Thanks! The good news is that DH passed that nasty kidney stone over the weekend so no more worrying about that. He still has the parathyroid surgery ahead of him but we are hopeful that it will be an easy one that goes well for him.
Eliza, I don't think I knew you were directly involved in 9/11. I'm hoping the death of OBL will someone eventually make the memories easier for you.
Ink, glad to here dh is on the mend.
So on 9/11 my girlfriends and I decided to ventur downtown (I lived in Harlem at the time) to do some shopping. My girlfriend was due to go on a cruise the end of the month and the stores around wall street are open early for the business folks. I got off the train at WTC just as the first plane hit, so after milling around with others trying to figure out what happened, I (because I have the weirdest luck) decided to walk over to building 2. I have a good childhood friend who worked in building 2 and I figured I'd go to his building and call my girlfriends from there. My cell phone had stopped working so I thought a landline would work and I wanted to wait there before the emergency crews started closing off the streets. At this point everyone on the street thought it was some type of freaky accident so really no one was clearing out or panicking, we just were sort of milling around, trying to figure out what had happen.
Long story short, I was waiting on the sidewalk of the south tower (#2) when the 2nd plane hit and got waffled by failing debris.
I thought I would come to the experts on VWL. I have seen several threads that mention the guest couldn't find a safe in their studio at VWL. Is that true, no safes at VWL? If there are safes, were are they located?
We have a reservation in June, I can't wait, and are used to leaving important items in the safe while at the parks. If there aren't any safes in the room is there an option for safes at the front desk? TIA.
Denlo,
it's been a while since I was in a studio but if I remember correctly it was located in the closet, along the side wall.
Just wanted to say thanks again for lifting my spirits yesterday. It was a really strange day for me. I really was expecting to feel some great jubilation but oh well. I made a point not to watch hour after hour of the news but I did have the old guy pick up a news paper.
Oh, I did tell the old guy I was divorcing him the nanosecond I can get my hands on a navy seal. LOL but I'm thinking if I get one my age the seal may have morphed into a navy sea lion.
I have nothing but love, respect and admiration for our young men and women in the armed forces.
to you today, and praying for that peace that passes all understanding for you as you work through the emotions once more. You are special to us all dear one.
I hope you had a wonderful day!
