Kempinski

Yes, I am now registered in two hotels. Most of my stuff is still at Al Manar but
the rest is with me at the Kempinski. I am staying here for the last part of my trip.
I mean good grief, a girl needs to get herself together sometime. My room is beyond
belief. I have a huge double bed, a marble bath complete, with a blow dryer. I have
no idea what my hair looks like but I hope to see it today. I will rejoin the group
on Saturday evening for the farewell dinner and of course, my flight home. I hope
to be back in Bagdad by the bay by Sunday evening. Remember we are 10 hours ahead
here.
The hotels have water because they truck it in. This hotel has real flushing toliets and great showers. They also have a spa and you can have massages in your
room or in the spa. I am going to head to the pool in a few minutes for lunch and
swims. In the late afternoon I will go to the gold market to pick up a couple things.
That is all I have on my schedule, the group meeting to "evaluate" the trip was
just not on my schedule.
By the way I did try and get into the 4 Seasons but they where booked. Seems there
is an Arab League meeting this week-end and they are booked. Big hotels here do not
cost what they do in the US..the 4 Seasons would have been about $185, including breakfast. The Kempinski is $149 including breakfast. These are 5+ star hotels, to
say the least Jordan needs tourists.
I am going to try and download some photos.. My buddies Marylin and MiMi left last
night. I am sad with out them, but I'll try and carry on. Marylin has been sick the
whole trip and MiMi's grandmother died so they split! I am about the only one that
didn't get sick..
