'Sleeper'


F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Our wings are not tired.

The only Club Med I have been to is about an hour north of me and we had a great time. I enjoy the inclusive resorts. Pressure to join group activities may exist but I am immune to it.

Any resort I have been to have been rather pricey. I don't know if better deals are available.

We could all lie and say we were interested in buying timeshares at some nice location.

Up with the sun

I would like to have a good array of comfy furniture, beverages and snacks readily available, and some interesting walks and outdoor activities in the area.

Coolfont Resort in West Virginia is nice. Great cabins/chalets for lodging, and some are big enough to host smaller parties, if not Prom. I haven't spent much time there, but the town reportedly has all sorts of spa-y and nature-y activities.

But that's on the wrong coast until at least 2007, and even then it might be too hard to get to.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm sure the middle of the country probably has any number of places like that, LJ. Also, wouldn't places like that be likely to have some sort of airport shuttle, or is that just positive thinking on my part?

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

Did you have to pay for alcohol, Laura?

And which one was it? I went to one in St Petersburg (?? I think) and it was a miserable experience that was only ameliorated by finding out the staff was as miserable as we were.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No idea if this link will work, but possible NOLA hotel?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's a decent location. You'll have to walk a little* to get to some of the stuff further in the Quarter, but it's closer to stuff like the Aquarium and the restaurants on Canal Street.

  • By "a little" I mean "anywhere from two to ten blocks", but considering the time of year, it'll be warm.

Looks pretty!

Ann, that's a ferret.

The location looks hard to beat, Jessica. In the Quarter (ok, on the edge instead of in the middle). No more than one block from the streetcar. If Royal Street still has decent funky shopping, looks like a contender.

It does. I prefer the other side of the quarter away from Canal, but exactly 10 minutes of walking will get you there. We'd also be close to the Hotel Monteleone which means we could go to the Carousel Bar (which actually revolves like a carousel).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Count me in on the ''cheaper/nicer hotel is better than a bunch of stuff to do since hanging out with y'all is my primary interest" team.
