Origin: Conference I attended at a lovely, family-owned, old fashioned resort/conference center.
How long kept: About 6 weeks.
Why kept: Guilt. Briefly Out of Sight, Out of Mind...found them in my file of receipts and things from the trip.
Destination: Back to the resort, via USPS.
Confession: So, one key is to remember to leave this stuff in my hotel room!
Digression: And seriously, if you're going to San Diego and you're a particular sort of person, I would recommend that you check out the Town & Country resorts.
We see old fashioned family resorts up in Northern Minnesota, some struggling. They're clean, the people who own them care...and one problem they face is competition from the more "luxurious" digs at the newer local casino/golf course. Sigh.
Now, the T&C was nowhere near the rustic and bare-bones feeling as the lake resorts. (And isn't that the point, right Mom?) They are up to date with Wi-Fi, etc. Lovely people. And it's pretty large, while retaining the old fashioned sort of feel that's lacking at the slicker resorts one often sees at business conferences. This place has heart.
It's the kind of place where I imagine that they will think, "how nice," when they receive these key cards, as opposed to "what kind of weirdo would send these back?"
