This is not the NORM!!!

It is about 5am and soon we will be scurrying through the free breakfast spread downstairs and then off to the airport on the 6am shuttle. Thank goodness everyone packed light...11 adults, 1 baby and tons of luggage could have made for an ugly start to the day for a 12 passenger shuttle bus driver. The hotel...SCORE! Very corporate yet swanky. The rooms we landed on Priceline ($55/each) have 2 double beds and then a big corner sofa in the living/sitting area. The sofa is actually a sofa bed...hopefully those that were 3 to a room last night figured that one out? There is also this gigantic flat screen TV that can be angled into the bedroom or sitting room, a wet bar, work station, vanity... I only mention this because I warned those that I saw last night that this is NOT representative of our accommodation for the rest of the trip. That being said, it is always nice to get great rooms at great rates. Thanks for having us Hyatt Place! Will try to post a few pics later...if blogger cooperates that is. Um...not sure if it is blogger or the blog operator. On that note, were off. Happy Wednesday!

New Zealand 2008 Ben actually has a bunch more pics, but blogger and/or webshots will only post 50 at a go. Click on the Dusky dolphin pic below to see all of Ben's snaps. Image hosted by Webshots.com
by housemanpsu I hope that you are able to see Ben's captions. When I loaded the album on the web last night they were there but when I just logged into add this note they were not. No html programming has changed...hummm...this blog thing can really challenge you!!! Cheers, Mary
