Good for you  :)

I'm just massively frustrated because the massive inflow of basic award stay of 100+ dates released on May 18 took me by surprise and I didn't have the points and FNC lined up.  ::)
Better luck next time if I see open dates I post and I opened a thread gemach if any1 is not going and has a booking

You'd have to be insane to try that. On a wooden OWB. 20 feet away from others.

I wouldn't be surprised if they threw you out of the hotel if you tried that and they caught you.

This can be an idea. Still feels risky but not as bad.

I'm guessing the Conrad is not letting people into the kitchen to watch the chef make the kosher food.
