This one is going into the Rae record books. I went to bed at 12:15AM local time and fell asleep within minutes. Next thing I knew, it was past 8:30AM. I am fairly certain I have not had a SOLID EIGHT hours of sleep since I was a child. Had I not had a long drive ahead of me today, I might actually have tried for a couple more. I’m wiped!

Breakfast is included with the room, so I dressed and went down to the lobby to get a bad pastry, juice of powdered OJ, and some murky coffee for the road. Ha ha ha ha. This is the second time I’ve stayed at a hotel where the complimentary breakfast was something I would have actually paid for! The first was in the US. I forget at which hotel, but it was part of this brand at the lower end, so that explains a lot.

For breakfast, there were nice-looking scrambled eggs with peppers and onions, sausage, make-your-own waffles, two kinds of fresh juice, several coffee and tea choices, cold cereal, pastries, toast (with butter, peanut butter, jams, and cream cheese available), yoghurt, and fresh fruit. I wanted a waffle with sausage, but the lineup of teens ahead of me was interminable so I opted for toast with my sausage, along with OJ, coffee, and yoghurt. Most people showed up for breakfast in their PJs (!) so I didn’t feel that out of place this morning. 🙂

I’d better be headed off. ETA at home is midnight.
