A Picky Vacationer, I Am

That’s where we’re staying during our travel to Hongkong. I’ve stayed in this hotel two years ago and for me, it was just okay. The superior room was spacious though I find the layout a bit outdated. The bathroom was memorable since it was the tiniest that I’ve ever seen, and also a little old-fashioned :D . The location was superb though - as far as shopping is concerned :D . It’s just right beside the mega-shopping centers, Ocean Terminal and Harbour City. In front are high-end designer shops like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and Prada, among others.

I can be a bit fussy on the hotels I stay in. So before booking my accommodation, I do my assignment and research on several hotels. Here are some sites I’ve recently bumped into which, I think, are worthwhile considerations (you may notice that these are European Hotels. Could this mean I’m already planning on a tour to one of these cities? In the far future, yes :D ) : Milan Hotels, Barcelona Hotels, Madrid Hotels, Hotels in Venice.

The Sad Truth

I was already convinced that I could go out of the house donning a short dress. But boy, I was wrong. I was trying out some dresses that I just bought recently as I was planning on wearing them during our upcoming trip. The dresses looked good alright but I didn’t look good in them. Well, if you’d look from head to just below the knees, everything would look fine, but beyond that - forget it! My legs look huge! :shock: (husband nodding his head right now). So unless I lose at least 10 more pounds, short dresses are banned in my closet (unless of course I put opaque tights or leggings underneath). So now, I’ll just mope and maybe read a book (The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch seems like a good read) before I finally get over the shocking sad truth. :cry:
