Ever find yourself in need to a really good, airtight alibi?
We’re not talking for any nefarious purposes, of course, but sometimes you need to tell a little fib to cover a story.
Maybe all you need is a replacement or additional credit card receipt to show that you really were at the fancy restaurant you claimed you took the client to. Or maybe you botched the expense report by not keeping the receipts like you were supposed to?

Are you having trouble dating, if only because you’ve dated so much that you have depleted the local singles scene?
Maybe its time to change your venue and move to a new city.
A new city with a plethora of single people to choose from. The question is where do you go?

The hotel concierge.
The good ones are always in demand and usually underappreciated for what they do for their guests.
But the exeptional concierges are those who will go above and beyond to make their guests’ stays as enjoyable as possible. They will do anything…. ANYTHING…. that the hotel guest asks them to do, and will end up doing it well.
Here are 10 MOST UNUSUAL HOTEL GUEST REQUESTS, and well-deserved thanks that the concierges who managed to pull these off with success:

Travelling across the country is usually no big deal. You check your luggage, get on the plane, and then collect your luggage at your destination before heading out for fun and adventure.
Unless the airline’s luggage handlers miss getting your bags from the first plane to your connecting flight due to a short turnaround. Then you’re screwed, and end up spending the next day trying to figure out what to wear while you are waiting for your misguided luggage to finally show up at your hotel.
Savvy travellers will know that this can happen, and take special precautions to address such a situation — such as packing an extra pair of underpants in their carry-on luggage.
The problem that arises is when your travelling companion is not quite as travel savvy as you are, and has not done the same.
A few friends of mine think that Epcot is the best thing at Walt Disney World. There are quite a few people who agree with that belief, such as the folks at EPCOT CENTRAL, all for their own reasons. I can’t say that I disagree with them, as Epcot can be underrated by park visitors. Ask any person who dislikes Epcot and they often say the same things:
Epcot is an immersive environment, with surprises and treats around every corner, if you would only bother to look. But that’s a different topic for a different day.
For those Epcot naysayers out there – I say that if you don’t like where you are, sometimes it’s because you aren’t creative enough to make your own fun.
Today, I will provide you with something to do after you have seen all that Epcot has to offer – courtesy in part from my creative Epcot-loving friends, and in part by today’s website, DRINK AROUND THE WORLD.

The best thing about checking into some of the newer, higher-end hotels is that they really are promoting their “high-thread count linens” or “superior mattresses” (which some hotels will even sell to you at the end of your stay, if you absolutely loved your mattress so much that you just had to take it home with you).
The Radisson chain, for example, is promoting that they have the SLEEPNUMBER bed. The last time I stayed at a Radisson, I didn’t find the SleepNumber Bed that remarkable, especially since the maid had lodged the controller between the bedframe and the headboard amongst all the evil hotel room dustbunnies that never seem to get vacuumed up.
Ew.
Perhaps if I had tried the bed at the SleepNumber store at the mall, like everyone else does, I would have had a better night’s sleep.

Winter is trying to VISIT EVERY STARBUCKS IN THE WORLD.
His most recent journey started at the end of May 2009, and he hopes to add to his total of over 9,000 visited Starbucks stores (out of a possible 16,000+) by the end of his eight-month trip.
The biggest obstacle at hand? Starbucks’ recent announcement to close 200 more stores that included some locations that Winter hadn’t visited yet.
