Back when the Salad Clan was young and had discretionary income to spend on things other than trombones, pre-paid college tuition, monster-truck-size replacement tires and adolescent orthodontics, we actually would stay at nice hotels for the weekend.
What did that gain us? For one, it allowed us the exciting opportunity to be put on e-mail spam lists.
And since Valentine's Day is around the corner, our friends in the hospitality industry seem to think it's time to refresh our acquaintance.
What are the good folks at Loews resorts offering? A multitude of romantic weekends in a variety of cities.
A note to the wordsmiths at Loews: If there's a package and it's pink, there's a good chance that it could require tickling, but it's unlikely that the package belongs to "her." As a result, a few customers at the Don CeSar may be expecting more room service than you're planning to provide.
Then again...
...maybe the hotel is just one gigantic pink metaphor.
