JANE OR KELLY

On our recent trip to St Louis I wish Jane or Kelly was with us. More like I wish Jane was with us but it felt like Kelly was. We stayed at the Hampton Inn at Boone's crossing. A very nice hotel but it should have been for $110 a night. Anyway the room was great. The wireless internet was a breeze to hook up and use. The beds were almost to tall for me to climb up into. I had to get a boost up from the boys. The indoor pool was great. The next morning the breakfast, I heard was great. I didn't make it down there.

So we left about 10:00am the first morning to go shopping and meet up with Eric's girlfriend Kelly. I know you probably have figured out something bad is coming. Well after a long day at the science center, the history museum, shopping and eating out we made it back to our room at 10:00pm. Well we walked into our room and it wasn't made up. All the wet towels were still laying there. The beds still unmade. And the toilet still clogged.

We called the front desk...... oops sorry about that. The gal brought us a plunger and towels. I did the plunging so she didn't have to.

This is a hotel that prides itself on 100% satisfaction. Well to say the least I was more like 60% satisfied. But being more like my niece than my sister I just let them dish it out to me and smiled while I pay my bill.

IF THIS STORY HAS A MORALE IT IS.......... WHERE EVER YOU GO ALWAYS TAKE YOUR SISTER. BECAUSE YOUR NIECE IS NICE BUT YOUR SISTER WILL GET YOU A FREE ROOM.

If Kelly's bad luck is rubbing off on other family members...please stay away. We manage quite well on our own with bad luck. Let's see how their trip to Chicago goes.....and compare to Jane's with no electricity, water or toilet (what can go wrong there?)

No kidding, we once found a turd in a hotel swimming pool. No caddyshack jokes please. We did get 4 free breakfasts out of it. Think I will try it again next time.

Take some advice from a smart feller I know---LET IT GO!!! I can't believe this is still bugging you...they were OUR wet towels, and YOUR clogged toliet....And I am with Paulette...I would much prefer that grand cozy bed than a trip with no water or electricity. Poor Joe! Life is not always fair, even if you take Jane everywhere you go.

I have taken a dump of two in my days that was so big that I wanted to show someone but I would never have called the front desk and insisted they send someone to verifty my abilities. The story sounds a little fishy. I know tou had a camera and wi-fi so I am wandering where the pictures are. I know you would have pictures of you and the plunger to remind Cindy that it was her turn next. We have also found a turd in a hot tub while on vacation. We did not draw everyones attention to it or try to get a discount. To be honest we were gust glad we were allowed to stay since it was NOAH'S.

Now I am sure that you had Cindy with you - she seems to be a pretty fast talker herself when it comes to getting rooms for free. Maybe your Secretary wasn't available...
