So sorry about your mom's health, and about jury duty. At least you was able to work your trip around.

I'm glad you'll have a break from all that is happening in your life!

I've been looking into a possible stay at the Hilton Bonnet Creek later this year using some of my points. I haven't even looked at the Waldorf since I barely have enough points for the Hilton Bonnet Creek! I'll be very interested in your take on the Waldorf. It sounds like it's very accessible between the two hotels (according to their website!).

Great start! I was thinking about staying at the Waldorf in April, but then I scored an AP rate on property. I can't wait to hear what you think about it!

Wow, that was quite a month!

Let me start by saying thank you for serving on the grand jury. I know that 99.9999999% of people despise jury duty for even a petit jury. But as a lawyer, I believe strongly in our system of justice and the service of citizens like you on petit and grand juries is what makes our system work.

I'm sorry you had to cancel your NY trip, but glad you were able to make things work in June and to reschedule the February trip. I can't wait to hear about the Waldorf! We may need to crown you as royalty along with Princess Sharon!

Congrats on making things work! Sorry for all the troubles. I've been called for Jury duty twice the last time they just had me sit there for the day then dismissed us. The first time I was called, I was most definitely out of the country - on my honeymoon!

I'm not sure if this is a PTR or a TR, so i will mention: I have stayed at the Hilton BC,a dn it was nice; the Waldorf is even nicer! You cna use all the facilities of both hotels no matter which one you stay at, so be sure to use the wonderful pool and lazy river at the Hilton. Also, swing by Muse in the Hilton for one of the wonderful cinnamon rolls.
