I was indeed dead tired but I am happy I pulled it off :)<br /><br />I wonder if you have a postcard with an old Holiday Inn hotel? I worked for the Intercontinental hotels group for three years and I'd be very happy to see how their old hotels looked like. <br /><br />Wish you a great week ahead! :)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742777265021634232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-86050603297149020502013-08-03T11:51:04.483-04:002013-08-03T11:51:04.483-04:00We didn't do much travelling when I was young ...We didn't do much travelling when I was young - at least not overnight.
