Its good to be gay...

[livejournal.com profile] boofbiker and I decided to stay at a nice hotel for his last couple of nights here: its a bit of a tradition for him to end a holiday with a bit of luxury (and god knows, my flat is pretty grim) and so we booked into the Carlton here in Auckland. Wotif.com had some great rates, $215/night for a nice room and access to the executive lounge. However, we come to check-in and who should be behind the counter but Philip, a lovely shy bear I know from Bears nights, and part of my circle of friends. He recognised me, checked Boof out, and (being the manager) upgraded us to a suite. A balcony suite. There is no penthouse in this hotel, but if there were it would be called Balcony Suite. Spa bath, lounge, gigantic bed, more space than my entire *house* (almost)

So we're happy, a $1030/night room for $215. Now all we have to do is invent some reason why the manager has to come to our room personally... heh heh :-)

we could simply ask him if he would like to give us a personal private tour... or we could say do you want to f%$#.

Have fun, guys! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

I take that back - do anything at all, and do it once for me too!

I bet you two will have lots of fun, and simply ask the manager to make a visit when he is off duty ;) then you can put him ON DUTY to help service your needs [bad bad bad otter]

It's like they say, it's not what ya know, it's who ya know.
Have fun, Growler!
