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.

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

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Maybe even creepier than the pigs .

(I decided to stop spoilerfonting the pigs.)

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:

Depending on the season, our 2010 room rates, per night, are:

King Estate Rooms $995 - $1,045
Holly Glade Cottage Suites $1,345 - $1,445
Singing Brook Cottages $1,595 ($1,695 during Fall season)
Hill Cottages $1,995

These rates, minus $100, are available for a single-occupancy stay. Rates do not include all applicable taxes and a 19% service charge.

Nightly Charges for Children: Charges for children 3 years of age and older, staying in their parent's room, will be $250 per child, per night, plus tax and service charge. This standard room charge covers meals, pantry snacks, sodas, and Camp Blackberry.

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.

That's probably my fault. I took a break from retail. But I'm back! And I want to try stuff on.

You could come up to San Francisco. There's one right down my street.
