That's hearsay. Your first hand experience is limited to 2 weeks.

That was in response to your nitpicking on me not having named
ALL of the towers (even though I had stayed in them all), and also
nitpicked on my choice of the webpage (which showed ALL of
the towers as well as the Waikiki beach) and bitched about why
I didn't show something else or Sue and Kevin's crummy pictures.

SHOULDN'T HAVE SNIPPED those.

"They" would have put you in the Ali'i Tower if they wanted to treat
you nice.

And don't tell us, after sending your clients to the Hawaiian Village
all these years you didn't even know which Tower is heads and
shoulders better than the others. LOL!

That's not to impress you. That's to give the reason why I was
upgraded to the Ali'i Towers that even the Diamond members are
NOT automatically upgraded there, even if they ask.

Ask you OTHER travel agents to see if they knew. Ask ANY of
them who have the Hilton Diamond status.

> many of my husbands coworkers are also Diamond members.

You certainly remain pretty ignorant about those hotels with all
your Diamonds, and clients and husband's business there.

I also know lots of very nice people who get along with me well,
and nearly ALL of them are much more intelligent and
knowledgeable in whatever conversation they engage in than
most of you TAs in this group who aren't even knowledgeable
about YOUR BUSINESS in TRAVEL!
