Getting settled into the hotel was not without issue. I'm rooming with Matthew and Brendan Godley. I was the first here and noticed that there was only one bed in our room (there were supposed to be three). I like these guys but not that much! Matthew was to arrive later that day (yesterday), so I called the front desk to have one sent up. Matthew arrived about midnight and still no extra bed, so we made do.

In the meantime I cleaned up from 30 hours of travel and noted that brown water was coming out of the tap. Not very appetizing. So I made a point to go down to the grocery store to get some bottled water (fortunately there is a 4 floor shopping complex under the hotel). It's probably ok, but why take chances.

Also had some issues getting online. I have a tollfree dial-up but that wasn't working for some reason. So I tried the internet cafe in the hotel lobby and their service was down. So no conneciton yesterday. Fortunately we wormed our way into a room upgrade today that included an in-room internest connection. Broadband (woo-hoo!). Now we are wired.
