A "live" blog relies on the internet connection and the hotel's is very unreliable. I've got lots of pictures and I'll do some retrospective posts later.
Sorry.

It is annoying when that "free" hotel Internet isn't worth what you pay for it. I can't wait to see your pictures.
Oh yes... hotel internet... what a challenge at times!
No worries... we'll be here, waiting for more wonderful photos with baited breath!
:)
The only thing worse than bad "free" internet is when you pay (like on a cruise ship) and it doesn't work well!
Enjoyed the posts so far - I'll just go back and look at those pictures until the documentation of the rest of the experience can make its way out to us.
Sad face - but you have FUN - and we will hear about it later.
Will look forward to your future posts. I just got my Lately Arrived from London FQ bundle...so gorgeous!!! I am so excited to do a lap quilt with it, still looking at potential patterns.
Can't wait till you're back "on line" after those teaser pics!
Everything you've shared just makes me want to see more!
Oh hotel internet can be so frustrating. I can't wait to see your pics.
