Sizzle Says

Bird lands today.

No, that isn’t secret agent code. My friend Bird is coming for a quick visit. She’s got a bit of a whacky schedule being an EMT so we’re going to pack a lot of fun in tonight and tomorrow before she jets back to California on Wednesday morning. When I saw her in The Cruz a couple weeks ago she mentioned that she’s been working out every day and would like to find ways to exercise while she is visiting me. Always the gracious host, I agreed. Especially since we’re talking about going swimming tonight (Yay swimming!) and kayaking tomorrow (Yay kayaking! Please don’t let me fall in the water!). I’m actually grateful for the kick in the ass because I’ve been lazy since I got back from vacation. It’s hard to work out when you are napping all the time.

My friends here wonder what my secret is. They inquire, “You always have people visiting you. How do you get them to come up?” Um. . .I dunno. I think they like me or something? In the one year I’ve lived here everyone from my inner circle has visited. And the summer visits are just kicking off. Supple and Marnacakes will be here at the end of the month and Dumpling and his girlfriend are visiting in September. It must be the little chocolates I leave on their pillows or the yummy breakfasts I whip up that has them booking stays at The Hotel d’Sizz. And yeah, it helps that I live in one of the most awesomest cities.

Please call for reservations in advance as this is a popular destination location and we fill up quickly, particularly during July through October. Rates subject to change much like the weather. All major credit cards are accepted except Citibank Visa.
