Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know how much you have to spend for the food to be worth the premium

The amount we spend on all-inclusives over the Christmas break is comparable to what we spent for room only in New Orleans for the funeral. I find it so desperately worth it. Costs similar amounts to fly there too. For about the same amount of money food and unlimited alcohol as well as sports and water activities and more real estate.

Yeah, I have problems with Jamaica's dependence on tourism. I do not have problems with our ability to deliver a quality vacation experience.

there wasn't even a special dinner for the wedding, just what was included

Bah! At least my cousin had a proper function with special catering. Just as well, because many of her guests were staying elsewhere. I, of course, missed most of the reception sleeping off a migraine, but I hear it was lovely.

Boxed set once it broadcasts somewhere in North America.

Boxed Set, period. Not that Fringe is broadcasting first anywhere else--but if it hasn't shown in the US yet, just discuss it in whitefont. That's what happens with Dr. Who and the other British stuff.

Bhutan is $200/day all inclusive! Drinks extra. Of course, you have to get there which takes forfreakingever. I recommend Qatar air. Even coach is pretty nice.

OK, so maybe I'm not a spa person...

I've still never had a massage.

It's not all inclusive if drinks are extra! I tried to explain this to people at Club Med.

Perhaps there's a reason my sister looked at me funny last time we holidayed together in JA. At least she's not teetotalling anymore.

Y'all are acting as I Dollywood weren't a factor here. Dude. DOLLYWOOD.

I'm not sure even Dollywood is worth Blackberry's rates:

Indeed! I have no nearby Ann Taylor Loft anymore! They closed both local ones!

Or is that not what you meant, exactly?

Well, your options are somewhat limited. It's partly the isolation. There's beer, but I'm not sure how good it is, given I don't drink it. Wang-du's first hotel didn't know how to do a gin and tonic was and that was a fairly foreign-visited place. I ended up being handed the whole bottle of gin. Um.

Neat thing about Bhutan's tourist thing is that you can decide to do everything or nothing on that $200. Lodging can be fleabag or freaking lux, though if you know someone -it's who your fixers are, but not in a nefarious sense. If you have a personal relationship with a Butanese, they just want to show off their country best. If I ever go back, I've got Pema and Karma at Tenzinling, who loved me- or are in a group, lux is the standard.

Now tagless for your comfort.

They closed over 117 Ann Taylor Loft stores this last year. Company was in some financial trouble.
