OK, Here it goes! I have decided to start blogging. I recently gave up message boards and I desperately need an outlet to talk about the random things in my life to complete strangers and some not so much strangers. That's pretty much what this site will consist of, my ramblings... the good, the bad, and the ugly.
This past weekend I was in LA. I had to find a hotel at the last minute and chose the Travel Lodge in lovely downtown Burbank. It was in a safe area and was really cheap. My first request from the front desk was for an iron and ironing board. The ironing board was one of those dorm room kinds with the 2 inch legs. It did what I needed to do. Next I had no hot water. I had luke warm water so I made do. Finally the hair dryer did not work. When I called about this and explained to the woman that I had unplugged, pushed the reset button, pushed the on/off button and it still didn't work she spoke in disbelief and said she would send someone to look at it. I didn't need anyone to look at it, I needed a working hair dryer! They didn't have one so I had to go to this red carpet event with toweled dried hair. Luckily it was raining in LA that night and so I fit right in.
The second night I had to get a different hotel because of logistics and the Travel Lodge was sold out Saturday night. Must have been something large happening in Burbank! I lucked into a great hotel on 3rd street 2 blocks from The Grove and Farmers Market. It was called the Park Plaza Lodge Hotel. I will stay there every time I go to LA from now on. It was affordable, clean, centrally located and best of all, it had hot water and a working hair dryer!
