walkitoutWe packed up and checked out of Saratoga Springs. We drove (not on the highway) to UO RPR. Checkin had a hiccup — we got in the regular checkin line, were asked what we doing, I said we did mobile checkin, we were redirected to mobile checkin, and there, they said that we had not done mobile checkin. Next time, if you don’t get an email confirm AND see a charge go through, it did not happen, no matter what the web page said.
T. was gloating about Dark Sky going away when he learned that had happened and I now had to use Apple Weather. Poor form. Also, _after_ I told him that’s what I was doing, he interrupted getting out of the car to ask while pointing to the app, is this what you are using _after_ I asked, is this related to what we are currently doing (getting us and our stuff out of the car and into the lobby). Then, he interrupted the checkin process to nag (too early) for the picture he wanted on his key _and would not stop when asked_.
A. and I went into Universal Studios side and did Minions. Long line again, even in Express, but we did make it to Finnegan’s for our 11:30 reservation. I had the vegan shepherd’s pie. After that we did Gringott’s (line was down for a bit, but we did get to ride). We also stopped in at San Francisco Pastry Company to get a chocolate chip cookie for her and a Vegan Elderberry Croissant for me. Our room was ready, so we bailed out to the hotel because it was already 87 and we were feeling pretty wiped out.
We got A. dinner at the concierge lounge (chicken nuggets). Also, there was a massive and very attractive fruit platter under a glass bell in my room when we arrived. Not sure why, but it was awesome.
I did Friday zoom! It was really fun. Lots of people, great conversation.
Also, the very fine gentleman who brought our bags up for us was very emphatic that he was the bell captain. I felt very outclassed, and delivered my usual tip and later speculated to R. that quite possibly word about the tipping scale has gotten ‘round and people are now competing to be the one to collect it. Weird, but suggests that I am now Doing Things Correctly?
