Just arrived back home from WTM 08 and TBC 08.
This is my first question: “Who is marketing my blog so well?” Lol
World Travel Market 2008 (3): Excellent Ad for Happy Hotelier
Month: November 2008
Travel Blog Camp 2008 (#tbc08 01)
Travel Blog Camp 2008
Just a short note with a few impressions:
Kudos for Darren for organizing it and for the speakers to get the room a bit heated up. There really were about 80 bloggers, industry reps and pr types. Location was excellent.
Roaming Tales has posted a nice summary.
I had hoped that my new Blackberry was a better instrument than it turned out to be and am probably regretting I didn’t choose for an Iphone. It was frozen during most of today. Now I have learned that the Blackberry variant of cntr alt delete is: Pull out your battery. This doesn’t necessarily means a Blackberry is a bad thing. I’m even able to freeze an Apple computer withing 5 minutes of using it.
All in all I arrived later than I anticipated and missed a speaker (Alex). But I missed a lot of what actually happened and was said anyway, because I tried to concentrate making some nice photos. Not sure how they turned out, because I rather process them at home on my own computer. So you’ll have to wait until probably Sunday when I will have some time to process them. And here, Kevin, speaks the Blogger who takes his time. A (photo) journalist would have put every effort in posting these photos today (err last night).
When after the speeches and debate I stepped outside with some fellow smokers and returned, more than 2/3rd of the people were gone already. That amazed me a bit. Haha especially Darren must have been worn out as he didn’t take me up on my offer to have another beer. Big question here: “Are the Dutch Better beer drinkers than the Brits?”
Today I took off to spend with DW. Tomorrow I will roam a bit over WTM. Anybody wanting to see me can DM me at Twitter | Happy Hotelier
CU soon
Twitter and Preparing for #WTM08 and #TBC08
The Airlines did it again for me. I’ll hop over to London by car tomorrow. Nothing Zen in trying to get a last minute flight at a decent rate.
Travel Blog Camp 2008
I’m looking forward to meet about 80 to 100 fellow travel bloggers and industry persons at Travel Blog Camp 2008 (Registration is closed) set up by Darren Cronian of Travelrants in a London Pub tomorrow evening.
The header of this post is a bit cryptic. It means that those in the know who are attending WTM 2008 will keep contact via Twitter on a self created Twitter “channel” that can be found when you do a Twitter Search on the #hashtag #WTM08 or #TBC08. If you follow the link you get a view of the discussion like this:

Quite funny to see the Dockland Light Rail being out of order for some time at the first day of WTM 2008.
And here the result for #TBC08:
Twitter search for #TBC08

Wasauna’s See-through Whirlpool Glass Bathtub – Born Rich
Whoa! It looks so classy. The Whirlpool Glass bathtub from the house of Wasauna looks to be the perfect thing to go with most of the modern bathroom designs. Like the sexy Hoesch Water Lounge, the Glass Bath enjoys a sexy make with both sides transparent. Touting sixteen jets and seating capacity for two persons, it offers a distinctive experience, from a meditative, restorative soak to the stimulating rush of waterfalls and whitewater. The tub is made of high quality Pilkington glass and stainless steel. The package comes complete with the chrome faucet and classic standalone shower apparatus. This luxurious bathroom fixture carries a levelheaded price tag of US $3199.
I found it on Born Rich, but the post has disappeared since.
I told you I’m addicted!
Hoesch Water Lounge – Luxurious Chaise Lounge And Bathtub Hybrid – Born Rich
This wonderful tub concept has been designed by NOA Design for Hoesch. The Hoesch Water Lounge is actually a chaise lounge and bathtub hybrid that flawlessly merges the soothing qualities of a lounger and a bathtub into a single product. The fully transparent tub side panels are supported by a metal construction that reveals the exceptional design of the whole thing. The chair features little gaps to allow bubbles that will comfort you. Moreover, the tub filler is integrated into the 1.4 meter high swiveling halogen lamp. I am all impressed with the neat and graceful make of the Hoesch Water Lounge. This water lounge looks to be a perfect example we can quote to describe a luxury bathtub.
Found it at Born Rich, but it appears Born Rich isn’t interested in baths anymore.
Just another hobby of mine: Designer Bathtubs
