It's okay, tbh I don't think you're missing out. My experience is that they're usually badly maintained if they're maintained at all (last time I looked at a hotel pool it was green and growing algae). The "swimmable" hotel pools are only found at really, really nice hotels.
Why do they even bother installing pools in hotels if they're not going to maintain them? What a waste of space.
As a child of the 80s and former smoker, I actually find the lingering smell of cigarettes in a smoking room super comforting, to the point that if a hotel has a smoking room option I take it.
Yea, I was born in 90 so I didn’t even have it as bad as people born before that. In the 90s so many places let you smoke inside, so a ton of stuff smelled like musty old cigarettes lol.
In my experience 12 year olds are pretty impervious to temperature fluctuations. Little bastards dive into freezing water like it’s nothing and run around in the scorching sun, not even noticing that they sweat through all their clothes.
When my toddler was much younger, they would take a bath in warm water, then get out in my well air conditioned house, shivering violently and happily declining any attempt to warm them up. We would always end up warming them up in the end, of course.
Nowadays they're a bit older and will seek out the biggest pile of blankets they can find at any opportunity.
Tell that to the 12 year old gymnastics competitors I ran into once outside a venue when it was 40 degrees out. They have a very low body fat percentage.
That's a sport that should probably die off, at least in anything like its current form, along with American Football.
dunno about now but back in the day if you used the tracking card and dumped all your money into the casinos they would comp hotel rooms. I had many stays in vegas as a kid. There's some stuff for kids to do but there are definitely way better trips to go on. Vegas felt like I went back to my childhood home when I came back at drinking age. Enough stuff changed by the following trip that it has lessened though.
Yep, some of their songs are quite narrative, often talk about their experience, and maybe Pink Floyd just lives rent free in some part of my head so I just randomly associated it.
