And the cost isn't much compared to how much the room costs, nor how much I pay for meals.<br /><br />RebeccaH: You raise an issue I haven't been reminded of in years.

That gives me a chance to restock it myself; at bottle-shop prices. <br />Twenty years as a traveller in aluminium tubing taught me a lot of guest survival skills.Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372213190811407871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11072522.post-78199146618475536472013-12-15T09:56:27.187+10:002013-12-15T09:56:27.187+10:00What RebeccaH said.

Not that I blame them for trying to cut costs. I just look after myself.RebeccaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113907852048577121noreply@blogger.com
