My 10-Hour Spaaaaahhh Experience

Folks, as Man from U.N.C.L.E. noted, I have been neglecting my blog entry duties lately. It's just that I've been working like a dog.

Anywhoo, a couple weeks ago, I was sent to San Diego again to a client meeting. The hotel where I usually stay was all booked up so they put me in a spaaaaahhhh instead! Unfortunately, I didn't arrive until about 10pm at night. See? It was all dark by the time I got there. But, as soon as I walked in the front door, I felt so welcomed! There was enough space for me and PortaBear.

There were the usual amenities of a coffee/tea center. Yes, this tea for two would be perfect for me and PortaBear (he likes English Breakfast and always leaves me in the dust with the green tea).

The bathroom was stock full of really nice smelling toiletries. They even had Q-tips, perfect for PortaBear's nightly beauty regimen. But, here's where the magic happens.

Now, I don't know if you all are aware of this, but I am notorious for travelling with food. You just never know when you will arrive at a hotel too late for ordering any decent hot food. Usually, the full menu is only available until about 10 or 11 o'clock. Then, you are left with sammiches and stuff. The last time I went to New Jersey for depositions, I brought 7 boxes of documents and 1 box of instant noodles, oranges, and cookies. That's right, you just NEVER KNOW. This little jaunt to good ol' San Diego was no exception. I packed what I would call "just in case" food. So, when room service arrived, it was supplemented with spring rolls, rice rolls, and a banana in coconut milk and tapioca dessert. (Those employed at Nu, Nu & Nu LLP will be intimately familiar with the origin of the "just in case" food.) How much does all of this food weigh? 2 pounds.

So, did I do any spaaaahing while I was there? Well, after I ate my two pounds of food, I sat at this computer desk for 4 hours working. So, no, there was no spaaaaahing for Nonny Nu whatsoever. Only working and waiting for exhibits to download via a very slow connection.

After putting in half a day's work on top of the full day I had worked already, I finally hit the hay. I set the alarm clock, fell asleep to the soothing sound of rain. I was up and out of there by 8am the next morning.
