My last morning in this lovely suite. Today I am moving down to the Plaza. I was up at 5 today so I got my morning toilette over with early. I still have $187 in food comps here. I should have gone back to Heritage Steak and had another fancy dinner by myself but I didn’t. I feel self conscious in fancy restaurants all by myself. I just ate that leftover piece of chicken from lunch for my dinner.
I decided to have a big breakfast to use up some of the comps. The Pantry restaurant was absolutely packed. There are several things going on here. Something called SIA and a pizza expo? Some guy ran up to me and said hello.
I said “Where do I know you from?” And he said “ Aren’t you part of the conference?” I said “Uh no but nice to meet you”. Apparently I look just like some lady at the conference.
Even though the Pantry was packed they managed to wedge me in as a solo diner. I was exceedingly naughty and ordered French toast and bacon. ( 35 bucks) I made sure to ask for half and half with my coffee this morning. OMG it was fabulous. Normally I would bring half to my room for later but I couldn’t pull that off today with the move so I forced myself to eat it all. So yummy!
When I returned to my room I noticed on the TV that I had $346 in food charges. I wanted to make sure that the $400 food and beverage that Unity had given me was applied. So as I was leaving I stopped at the Unity desk and they did that for me. I am not sure if it would have been properly handled if I had just left without doing that. Then I went to the front desk and got a copy of my 0 balance bill.
Next I called a Lyft. Several times this trip I have gotten such tiny cars from Uber and Lyft that I can barely fit me and the walker into them. On one trip my head was literally touching the car roof! So I chose a Lyft Preferred this time. They have larger cars and five star drivers. I got a huge Mercedes Benz and a very nice man so I had a comfortable trip down to the Plaza. ( Only $14.26!)
My room wasn’t quite ready so I went to play for awhile. I love playing those old Game Kings. I managed to get the deuces and replenish my wallet. Then I checked into 1705. To my dismay I could not connect to the Plaza wifi on either my phone or my IPad. I have stayed here a million times and never had an issue before. I was still connected on my phone because I bought two weeks of data in the USA from TMobile however it was quite weak. That is why I always use the hotel’s wifi because it is usually stronger. Several people suggested some things that didn’t help so in the end I had to change rooms. I did that at 7 am and boom, instantly connected. I don’t know what was going on in 1705. Just glad it is over.
Back to yesterday….I spent the afternoon on that same old Game King. I contemplated doing something more adventurous but decided against it. I saw Jonathan Jossel for a minute and he stopped to say hello. When I was too tired to play anymore I grabbed a slice of Pop Up pizza and took it to my room.
I have included some pictures from the day.
