Cross sell on the wake up call.

15 02 2008

Me: Hi, can I have a 6am wake up call please?

Operator: Yes Ms Reyes. Would also like tea or coffee with your wake up call?

Me: Um, no, it’s ok. But thanks.

Wow again.  And they would somehow coordinate that so that a guy with a steaming silver teapot is waiting outside my door just as the phone rings with the wake up call. This place is crazy cool.

Oh, did I mention there was a live orchestra in the lobby, we were greeted with a necklace of fresh flowers and that the whole lobby is covered with pools of rose petals?

India … it’s a sure thing.

1 02 2008

Well, for all of you who were wondering … 1 sleep to go for Conrad (which means by the time you’re reading this, it’s the day he’s leaving or he’s already enroute to London)!

And on a mixed-emotional note, I will not be going home with him at the end of our holiday. I’ll be going home shortly thereafter, to be sure … but not directly. First, I’ve made a deal with the woman I’m standing in for that I will accompany our exec to the leadership conference in Bangalore, India. … So I’m ready to go home, but C & I figure we made it through 4 months, we can handle 4 more days … and the pro’s of the experience of travelling to India, seeing life there, seeing HAL there, being a part of the event — well, it’s another great learning opportunity, plus it’s a great capstone to end the experience on.

So, there you have it. C & I will spend a little time together in Asia, then on the 15th, we’ll fly home to NYC … only my flight will include a 5 day layover in India. :-)
