TRAVEL
FUN ?
American Airlines
Another example of how travel has become more difficult to enjoy from the 'good ole-days'. More Later I'm to tired right now to bitch, Stay Tuned..........
Amtrak Empire Builder
Took a 3 day Cross Country train ride last year. We had 2 connecting bedrooms and it was one of the most enjoyable trips we made. Good food and service. It was fun and we plan to do another. The 2 bedrooms is truly the way to go.
ALASKA
I've come to realize that Cruise Ship Vacations are NOT WORTH IT! Take a Cross Country trip on AMTRAK, get at least 1 bedroom (2 adjoining ones are better), it is a great experience!!
NORWEGIAN JOY
And I thought Princess was a waste of money. Here is a short list of our Norwegian Cruise mishaps....Room not cleaned when we were allowed in, Water bottle if refrigerator was previously opened, Was charged for other peoples drinks(we had the beverage package), casino gave us change in Pennies, Not enough lounge chairs by the small pool for the number of passengers on the ship(rough approximate was about 1 chair for 10 passengers or 10%), meat in the specialty restaurants was both under-cooked and had a lot of fat.
Cruises Suck
Cruises Suck! But I'm still going to take one more to make it an even 5. Thus being able to add more to bitch about later.
Belhurst Castle Geneva NY
So we had one the most Unpleasant and Disgusting Experience of staying at the Belhurst Castle a while ago. There were several couple staying at the various buildings, on and off the castle grounds. EVERYONE had e the same comments about the facilities. The rooms were dirty and smelled very musty. Ours even had BLACK MOLD in and around the tub and sink bathroom area. The manager, Mr. Mackey was informed and basically he didn't give a shit. Be forewarned!
AVIS
So I recently rented a vehicle from AVIS at the St. Paul, MSP Airport. I am a Preferred Member and after 1 1/2 hrs of waiting in line because only one of the staff knew their job. I reserved an Intermediate SUV and first they wanted to give me a pickup truck, then a Large SUV, then others, but not the one I reserved. They finally gave me a Grand Cherokee and that was fine, except when I got to the SUV and discovered it an Electric Vehicle. So after 3 more attempts they finally got it right, almost. They gave me a Toyota 4Runner...what a piece of junk! I was afraid to drive it because there was something definitely wrong with the front end steering and suspension. So I had to trade that in, Then I finally got the vehicle I reserved in the first place. It had a 1/4 tank of gas in it and I had a contract showing that. When I turned the SUV in, they tried to charge me for a full tank of gas, even though I showed him the original contract! What a cluster-fuck operation AVIS has become! Unbelievable!
