I'm thinking of taking the wife there the first weekend of our Spring Break (March13).  Has anyone ever stayed there before?  Is it nice? 

We get an RSA discount, so our room will only be $70 for the night.  I can't wait to get back to AU for a few days.

Never been there, but try the Travel Lodge.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Yeah.  Been there several times for conferences.

It's nice enough, but unless your wife is a golfer there isn't much for her to do -- unless you scarf out the cost of a spa package or something.  

The Grand in Fairhope is a better deal (assuming the RSA discount applies there).  It has the spa, but there are also walking trails, you can rent kayaks or paddle boats, the pool (if it's warm enough) is awesome and it's a beautiful and historic location.

If The Grand is a 9 -- and it is, particularly if you can stay in one of the suites -- then the Opelika Marriott is about a six or seven.  Nothing spectacular or amazing.

We're teachers.  No money. 

We've got about $120 to blow for Spring Break.  70 bucks for the hotel, 30 for Mike and Ed's, 20 for gas. 

She hasn't been back to AU since May.  I figured it'd be nice to hit up Chewacala and some old stomping grounds for a day or two. 

By the way, it's the hotel on the golf course.  It looks nice.

I had a feeling wine coolers would be involved.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Ah, understandable.  I am broke and I was just being an ass.  Go to the SupperClub.

I don't know if the roommate will be there or not.  Depending on the wife, I could be the "coed" if you get the drift...

Chewacla and a tent would be fun. And this time of year would be just right for keeping each other warm. Then you would have lots of money to play with.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

This just might be the answer to my plight. 

I just pitched the idea to my wife.  She laughed and said "too cold."
