We recently had three high level visitors to the embassy. Below are three scenarios of their requests/needs or doings while here. I am going to let you guess of these three high level visits which one each scenario belongs to. Although they are not all that outrageous...they are just odd or interesting requests I think. The candidates are Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and a Senator from Florida...(sorry the name escapes me...not helpful I know)
1. Here for one day to visit the European union and Nato and had a hotel stay of one night. Left from Washington DC and went back to Washington DC. One of Leonardo's employees came running into his office with a request for 8 photo frames to be purchased for the hotel room. Leonardo asks what they need with 8 photo frames for the hotel room for. Well, their staff e-mail them 8 family photos that they want in their hotel room for the one night stay. They want them to print up the photos, frame them and have them sitting in the hotel room when they get there that eveing. (Like one can't travel with one modest photo of your family in your own luggage...this request is just odd) This one also wore make-up...maybe not so unusual if they will be in the lights with cameras flashing all over them...but interesing.
2. This person travels with 14 suitecases. (Maybe not too outrageous...but interesting fact) This one also wears make-up.
3. This person requested 8 oreo cookies to be left on a plate by their bedside in their hotel room. Not unusual at all I guess....who doesn't like oreo cookies as a bed time snack?
Can you guess who fits which scenario?
What would your unusual requests be if you were their boots?
Mine would be a need for extra pillow in my room....that's about it. I would travel with my own family photo in my luggage. And yes....I too wear make-up.

I would request that the bathtub drains. It would amaze you how many hotels I stay at that the drains are clogged or drain slowly because of hairballs in the drain.
I would also just request a smaller hotel like Courtyard by Marriott or Days Inn. They all give free breakfasts. The swankier hotels don't give any ammenities.
Same answer as Brian.

The main thing I want from a hotel is soundproof walls. I always seem to get a room next door to the couple making whoopi.
1) Senator
2) Clinton
3) Biden
I am with Brian
Biden, Clinton, Senator
I assume the Senator is fat.
I would insist on a quiet room with no outside street or courtyard noise.
These requests are harmless but show the pompous nature of everyone of them. I think it's disgusting. No one needs 14 bags. No one automatically deserves to have their room tailored to them with 8 photos especially for one night. As for the Oreos, see above. Damn Democrats!
Doug...for the first time on our blog spot....you made me laugh! Brian, Alan and Doug are all correct. Congratulations!
