 ML> By contrast the Super 8 in Juneau is a distinctly

 JW> I find them to be generally good value for their price range. They

In my experience, but not by reputation. One wonders
if there was a concerted renovation process at one point?

 JW> Also a great loyalty system (every 5th stay is free).

Making a 20% discount. For other chains, especially
the big ones, the rate tends to be 10%, but the rest
is made up for with perks (executive lounges, little
boxes of chocolate on your pillow) that the budgety
places can't and wouldn't be inclined to offer.

 JW> The grandkids like them as every one (in Yellowknife, Alberta and
 JW> B.C. at least) have swimming pools and a water slide.

I sort of laugh at the envisionment of the children
frolicking in a frozen swimming pool - perhaps that
informed your choice of ontopicizer for that post?

     Title: Sekanjabin
Categories: Middle east, Beverages
  Servings: 20

  1 1/4 C  water
      2 C  sugar
    1/2 C  wine vinegar
      1 bn fresh mint

(my modification; 3/4 C honey, 1/4 C water. I also use a fruit vinegar
instead of wine)

Bring water to the boil with sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar
has dissolved. Add the vinegar and simmer for 20 min longer. Remove
from the heat and submerge the mint in the syrup. The flavor of the mint
will penetrate the syrup as it cools. Strain and refrigerate.

Use 1/2 of the syrup (about 3/4 C) diluted with water to make 10 C.
Shake before serving, you may have to keep stirring the glassful as you
drink.
