I am having hard time with the tip system here in USA. I just don't like it. Not because I am greedy, but because it gives me anxiety: who'm to give, when to give, how much, etc. Is he/she being genuinly nice to me or is that person being nice cause his/her tip depends on it?! The bellboy lifted my two suitcases on a luggage trolley, do I have to tip him!? Someone brought a crib up to our room, am I suppose to give him a tip? Do I leave the housekeeper a tip? Do I have to leave a tip when I buy hot drinks from a coffe shop? I wish that these unwritten rules were written ones. I want a price list, like how much for this and that. At the same time I can't give all my cash away for every little "favor".Or should I? One day when we were changeing hotels we gave three different people tips before we even got into our room. Thats crazy. I guess I just not use to this system and it makes me feel akward. Oh well, now we are back at Rosen Plaza hotel after 3 nights and Hawthorn Suites. The weather is bad again, as expected, but thats okey because now I can fill the "craks" in my suitcase with some more outlet shopping. I am ashamed to say that but today I came home with SEVEN dresses from Ross. I am not quite sure how I will bring them home, but I love each and every one of them. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Sorry for the funny fake pose, but here is one of the seven dresses ;P

Bye bye Hawthorn suites!

I miss the sun already. Haven't seen any today.
