I'd be pissed if I was on vacation and had to pay through the nose for parking and internet, but if I'm on business travel, not only is the company paying, but I *have* to have those services.Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748293799490877339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-64713901555467904702010-08-11T00:33:18.292-04:002010-08-11T00:33:18.292-04:00I don't understand the entire business model t...I don't understand the entire business model that expensive hotels follow.

Supposedly they teach the kids bad habits, they provide the illusion of safety but aren't really safe, or some goddamn thing like that. (The bottom line is that daddy has to swim, too, and hold the kid who can't swim. But I'm OK with that.)Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748293799490877339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-79555794386690871922010-08-09T18:46:36.042-04:002010-08-09T18:46:36.042-04:00Well, like Iceland, it was a working vacation in t...Well, like Iceland, it was a working vacation in the sense that I was there to attend a conference, with the hotel, my plane fare, and mi&e picked up by my sponsor.
