Hi everyone,
We arrived back this morning from a 7 night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel.
This holiday more than made up for our spoiled honeymoon. We had an amazing time.
Just a bit depressed at the moment - Jet lag, british weather ( its been raining all day-typical) , going back to the usual grind tommorow etc
The highlights were :-
- Virgins's Premium Economy seating- excellent service. Straight to the front with everything. I have never slept on a plane before this.
- Hard Rock Hotel - Quite possibly the coolest hotel in the world. Nelly Furtado blending in around the pool area and no one recognising her ! Even better than our stay in september ,01.
- Front of the line access priveleges - You feel like a VIP and a little embarassed, rolled into one.
- Illuminations boat cruise - What a view! We had a great captain aswell.
- The weather - It didn't rain once ! upper 80's and lower 90's , bags of sunshine.
- Nelly Furtado concert at Hard Rock Live - A great performance.
- VIP treatment at the Hard Rock cafe - The manager took us past 3 locked doors into John Lennons New York apartment, complete with his piano (that he played in Imagine), table, white suit all the upholstrey etc etc. They paid $16,000,000 for the piano alone ! The room had stairs which led upto the VIP area in the Hard Rock Live. She told us VIP's hire it for $5000 per night !!! Needless to say when we left we were totally shocked that they gave us access to it ! We couldn't believe we forgot to take the camera out that night, so we asked her later on if we could go back and take a few snaps. She told us no problem. On the day we were leaving, we went back and they let us go back up there, when we got back to our table the waiter told us the manager had taken care of the bill for the meal !! Even the Hard Rock hotel staff couldn't believe they let us up there.
- Discovery Cove - The dolphin swim was absolutley amazing.
-The Mystic fountain at IOA - I swear i could have sat there all day, watching this thing. This was so funny. It had me in stitches for about an hour !
As you can see we are really glad to be back - NOT !!!
Hope everyone is OK.
Thanks Paul.
PS Is it possible for me to post a few photos and how do i go about doing it ?
