INDIA: Returning to my roots after 10 years......

Vinsan, which hotel is better - The Hyatt Regency or the Grand Hyatt ? Unfortunately the hotel I always stay in (Taj Land's End) has been removed from my company's list of preferred hotels....

Both have thie pros and cons

Hyatt Regency:
pros:
1. Nearest Hotel to the Airport
2. Good for shorter stay (for 2-3 days)

cons:
1. Noisy due to airport flight blares


Grand Hyatt:
pros:
1. Good for longer stays (like for a week or so)
2. Excellent accomodation facilities & locality

cons:
1. Distant to the Airport

My Clients from US stayed in Grand Hyatt last time .....

I am not sure abt their fares though

Okay I can see I'm going to have to pack my tux.

:wink:

superG, marriott is absolutely breathtaking. if you can have your say, go for marriott.

Did u know...


The ganesha festival is celebrated for 15 days in late august or early September of every year and involves making ritual clay idols of Lord Ganesha (Elephant headed God of Luck and Intelligence), founding them at home or in public, praying them in groups and then perform their immersion in natural water sources like sea, ponds or rivers on the last day.

Primarily celebrated in Maharashtra state (and hence in Mumbai) the immersion ceremony is Asia's biggest one-day festival where thousands of people gather on the roads of Mumbai to travel to the sea shore and immerse the Ganesh Idols into the water. Some Ganesh Idols are as big as 3 storey buildings. The number of people in immersion ceremony sometimes reach over a million scale too.

60-70 years back it was more a private ceremony. But then the festival became historically significant in this part of India when it was made public by a freedom fighter Bal Ganghadhar Tilak as an effort to perform mass education and revolution in the society toward s Indian freedom. So it is a symbol of pride and festival of new era of independence for Indians.

1. A bit too far from office
2. Already full
3. Not a company preferred hotel
4. I go to my hotel to sleep only (and if I have a date....)

Vinsan, have McTag and Clary arrived in one piece ?

oh, they're on their way? how exciting!!!! hope to get some updates along the way.

On Saturday it is, if I remember correctly, that they fly (arriving Sunday morning, if I'm not totally wrong).

Me and my memory......

sheesh, superG. it's a good thing you don't run a funeral home. you'd be burrying people alive!

Dag, a good friend of mine is in Vienna these days - he was forcing me to come along with him. I came this close to meeting you....

Yes! You didn't send the £ 85,640.17 I'd spend for your new car until now until now!

SuperG, you're kidding! I do have a big presentation next thursday though, so now is a bad time...but still!

I know, that is why I did not come (and oh, also the prospect of sharing a hotel room with him...)

why, does he snore?

Dunno - never "slept" with him..

oh, by the way. i find that men in vienna are generally very good looking. at least there's way more of them then in slovakia or czech republic, and they're 'different' then americans... just a motivation...

Yes yes yes yes yes

....What's the question?

oh, nuthin, nuthin.... just superG here was too eager to send you on your way already and i met him here, we got caught in a chit-chat ...
