Flight time took longer than normal.  My guess is that they were trying to save gas by flying slowly.  After all, if a flight is supposed to take 5 and 1/2 hours, what’s the big deal if it takes another hour, right?  Anyway, after waiting for my luggage, I took an overpriced cab ride to the hotel.

The Touchstone hotel.  Let’s just say that you get what you pay for.  In this case, you get a lot less.  I’m not sure where they got the pictures that I saw on the previous web page, but (to quote Michael Douglas from Falling Down), this place is nothing like the picture.  I’ve attached shots of the Bed, the Bathroom and The View.

Let’s just say that the view makes me think a crime is going to happen at any time.

I didn’t include a shot of the TV because other TVs would be embarrassed by association.  I’m hoping that the trip will work out better than my initial impression.

I took some shots around there and it seems like there is good shopping to be had.
