Error

I have discovered that my posting of January 26th may be in error.  The blurb on the Cafe Royale website about being offered for sale has been removed either because there was a change of plans or because it should not have been there in the first place.  I suspect the latter as it could have been a case of the website being hacked something that seems to happen with alarming regularity in that part of the world.  Tom and David run a very nice hotel which has been in operation for ten years and I just cannot  imagine them selling it.  Actually, there are too many Russians in Pattaya these days and there is tension between the locals, tourists, and some foreigners who do not seem to know how to comport themselves in public.  Hope things go better in the future for the city.

Well, I am off to Vegas next week for a quickie.  That is two nights at the Luxor plus Ka', a spectacular Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand.  As for gambling, well, I don't do much of that these days but I do like the change of atmosphere from here in San Francisco.
