[CQ-Contest] Crowne Plaza 2014

[Stewart GM4AFF]

I think a fair number of patient listeners heard me go on at length  
about my stay at the Crowne Plaza. Like Barry, I too will probably  
stay somewhere else next time! I got a refund on my first night's  
stay, so I was reasonably happy with that. But the breakfast needs a  
revamp, and the standard of banquet food left a bit to be desired.
But I still had a great time!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the very generous  
people who gave me a lift (ride) to Hara and back, and Dave K3LP who  
took me to the airport. I didn't see the point in hiring a car so I  
could leave it in various car parks round Dayton all weekend. I also  
enjoyed the bus ride a few times too!
