Thanks for all the replies, serious and humorous. I feel clued in now. The place won't negotiate on the kid so we are going to grab an apartment down the road. Not as nice, but I'd rather be out and about anyway.

Your statement is true though for smaller hotels where the only access is by the front desk and the staff are clued in to all of the guests.Quote:

Basically what I was going to suggest anyway. Things are different, whatever, move on and accept it. A buddy of mine spends a month or so on the coast there kite surfing. Looks good, and it's on my list now.Quote:

My buddy Crazy Terry nicknamed him Sherpa Hollywood this year on our backpack. Kid is a mule. We give him everything we have that is heavy and he still destroys our trail pace.Quote:

A friend used to be with CSIS (canadas version of FBI/CIA special police) they figured because everyone loved Canadians so much the black market for Canadian passports may have been driven through this whole "just leave your passport here for the duration please" BS. Mostly forging existing ones but some stolen especially in less than first world countries (lets face it that's most of Europe outside of Switzerland).Quote:

Shut up.
Found this old thread today doing numerous euro hotel searches. Still remember the moment I heard his death announced on Iowa Public Radio. Didn't even believe it could be him, until it was. This one made me sad.Quote:
