Pics from Nashville

Here are some pics from my trip to Nashville. I didn't get to go out much, so all of these are in the hotel, the Gaylord Opryland. This place is absolutely HUGE!

How would you like this view from your room? I had it! This was actually my second room. The first had a problem with the bed (It was very old, and very noisy... I didn't get much sleep my first night there.). They have been renovating the hotel since 2005, and the first room was due to be renovated soon. They moved me to another section of the hotel, and when I saw the view from the balcony, I was sold! This room had been renovated already.






My room. That bed was wonderfully comfortable. :-)












Each of the room areas has an atrium. This hotel is environmentally controlled (68 degrees, humidity controlled). More than once, I went outside briefly, and was reminded that I was still a part of the Earth (30 degree temps at night for the first few nights.). There are 2880 rooms at this hotel, and it is bigger than many of the mega-resorts in Las Vegas.

My room was as far as you could get from the convention facilities and still be in the hotel. It would take me over 7 minutes to get to my room, walking full-speed.

I took this picture. Isn't this orchid absolutely gorgeous?

By the way, ALL the plants at this hotel are real!

I am definitely coming back to this hotel and to Nashville as a tourist! Now, if I only could afford it.
