Kempinski/ Suzi has returned

So life has changed dramatically for me! I am loving every minute of the Kempinski..
I spent the day by the pool after my 10:15 checkout. Okay there is a reason this
place is 5+ stars, the service is just beyond my limited experience. At the pool they
come around and SPRITZ you with cool water so you won't get too hot!!! AAAAAArgh!
They also served cold melon throughout the day..
I meet a crew from a movie filming here, based on the soldiers in Iraq.. I also
ran into them yesterday at the 4 Seasons and I meet a couple of guys that work for
the King in the court system. And of course, taught a girl (Hella) to swim.. its
all in a poolside day..also meet up with the likes of a kid named Ronnie who is all
of 5 and talks a blue streak in about 5 languages! He is from Wash DC but is visiting
here.. he was floating for hours in a life jacket.. no need to try and teach this
kid as the pool is too deep.. Oh did I describe the pool? Divine.. about 5 feet deep
level gutters and about 82 degrees with no cholrine burn..
After a grueling day at the pool I had a suana and Jacuzzi.. padded back to my
room (In my Kempinski Robe) and had a REAL SHOWER blowed my hair dry and headed out.
I went to the Gold market and picked up Sarah's BD present and a little gold chain
for me! Then I preceded on to CITY MALL... where I have managed to replace my
crumbling bag and my tar covered flip flops.. stuff is NOT cheap here.. they pay
about 35% more than we do for average stuff!
When I arrived back at the Keminski there was a man in the lobby, in full field
regalia, serving coffee and dates! Really, just the pick me up a girl needs when
she's pooped from shopping. Tomorrow is my last full day in Jordan. I'll be having
another grueling day of mani/pedi pool and massage.. I'm off to my room to watch
one of the 23 channels and have room service..

Suzi, I am sorry I didn't follow along the whole time. I lost the original blog site, but I read through a lot of your past publications and it looks like this has been an amazing trip. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back--Becky
