Although I have to point out that I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered whether or not you had a dryer since that humidity probably would have rendered all attempts at hairstyling null and void anyway.

I'm not sure why you would be trying to drown yourself in the bathroom (except for the fact that the shower was too small for drowning) but I'm sure that at some point around 1982, guests tried it as a way to get out of the scary-timeshare-hell and they had to install those drains.Tracie Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908908021649000930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-55441555422607809292011-01-25T15:11:44.792-05:002011-01-25T15:11:44.792-05:00OMgoodness!

So that's one thing. Second, I swear your hacienda from hell must be an evil chain because I stayed in identical digs in St. Lucia a few years ago when my sister got married there. I had a breastfeeding baby, a toddler, and my eighty-year-old grandmother with me, though, and for me the worst part was no lattes to be had anywhere at the resort rather than no hairdryers. But still, I feel your pain. <br /><br />And I had to read this to my husband, who laughed so hard tears were streaming down his face, because he was imagining what I would do to him if he ever took me to a dive like that timeshare!<br /><br />Just for the record, ass-hair notwithstanding, I think you look at least a tiny bit happy in some of those pictures. When you feel bad about your hair, just remember that there are a lot of women at Walmart whose hair looks much worse than yours!Rebecca Gracehttp://www.CheekyCognoscenti.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-83984065897579291952011-01-24T20:59:16.873-05:002011-01-24T20:59:16.873-05:00Oh wow - you are soooo funny.
