Checked in and logged on

It was a minor skirmish to get checked into this room--pure luck prevailed and we dodged a huge bullet.  meanwhile, it's taken 15-20 minutes to configure the WIFI.  As you can tell, we must have "got it right" since we are here, so to speak.  This place is so over-the-top Rancho it's ridiculous--there's a remote control for the curtains!  Press a button and the fireplace comes on for an hour.  There's a private balcony with a high dollar view and the place is like so over-the-top.  I will proc some pix and post them up later.  In the meantime, I am simply overjoyed that I made it past teh check-in desk.  WHEW!  That was a close call--too close for comfort.

I'm not gonna hang out here in this room long---I see a great lakeside trail over yonder--I'm outta here. I gotta get some fresh air and get outta the confines of this Rich Man's Paradise.  Maybe I will go gnaw on a gneiss rock to feel more at home.
