I had another postcard post nearly completed and my mouse went crazy, opening something up, then wiping out the majority of my post. I was too tired by then to recreate the thing and will probably have it next Wednesday.<br /><br />@Darlene- According to Buddha's comments the hotel looks better than ever! You're looking darn good too!<br />It really didn't sound like the best trip of her life...<br /><br />@Phivos- Thank you! I think I'd definitely go see the old hotel if I was in the area. <br /><br />@Margaret- (You Margarets are such creative types!) I'd enjoy seeing that hotel someday. Did you follow the link to the Sky Room? It looks marvelous. <br /><br />@Buddha- I so appreciate your comments to bring us up to the current state of the hotel. How amazing that it's an area and a place that you know well...really personalizes the old postcard.<br />And it is terrible terrible news about the oil spills.
