This morning finds MRV & I in Saratoga Springs New York at the Gideon Putman Resort & Spa no less. The hotel has that "old money" feel to it - lots of friendly but respectful staff.
It's modernized but not completely - they use the old elevator with the half circle thing on the wall above the door to show where the elevator is as their staff elevator & have installed a new modern one for guests.
Our room is smallish but with all the the modern touches we have grown to require - Internet access, cable TV, etc.. but the bathroom has been left like it was in the 50's (with a hair drier though) - mrv is not impressed with the bathroom :)
We are here to meet one on mrv's on-line canasta friends & her husband - something I was kind of leery about after the last time we met one of her on-line buddies (but that's a story for another time).
We met up with Lynn & Paul last night & they turned out to be a delightful couple much to my relief. They met us with all sorts of Saratoga Springs souvenirs (Tee shirts, hats etc..).
We are off now to meet for breakfast & then I think Paul & I are going for tour of the chemical plant he manages while the girls are off for a tour of the casino.

lovely!
And looking forward to hearing the story of "the last time"!
Is that a coincidence that Paul is in the chemical business ? Great opportunity to witness. Sounds like fun - looking forward to the next installment of " On-Line Tryst "
Patti - ask mrv about the "last time".
She sees a much funnier side to the story than I do :)
