What I did on my Summer "Vacation":  
 
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 09:58 PM by PCIntern

I just spent a three-day weekend in Hershey, PA for a variety of reasons. The antique auto museum was worthwhile, as was the Hershey Museum - a bit biased in favor of corporate America, but...hey...what do you expect when the guy wills 60 million dollars for a school for fatherless boys in 1923...do the math...what's that today - like a billion?

But OMFG...the Hersheypark experience was unlike any I've seen in a very long time: tens of thousands of people - no exaggeration - maybe 100,000 - I don't know, it was MONSTROUS crowd, each paying 40 dollars plus to get in...and then spending all day drinking 4 dollar Pepsi's (1/2 ice, BTW) and 8 dollar popcorn (kettle corn, with tons of sugar and salt...delicious but a KILLER)...and 12 dollar sandwiches and fries...just unbelievable. And yes...a bottle of water was about 3 dollars...most folks were pretty dehydrated on Saturday and drank and drank. Horrifyingly obese people wearing bathing suits which were ill-fitting in the water park, vicious conversations among family members, grumpy parents, tired kids, weirdly frighteningly nightmarish rides that were altogether rather safe (thank God) - but some waiting times were almost an hour for a 3 minute adventure...some queues' signs stated that there could be a 3 hour wait...well, I guess those awaiting the ride could read The Nation or The New Republic AND the NYT whilst in line...yeah...that's the ticket...

Stayed at the Hotel Hershey...if I never see another chocolate bar, it'll be too soon...everything wrapped in chocolate, smelling like chocolate (bath soap, all desserts, hand creams, etc.) the meals were a fortune, the rooms were a fortune, the vending machines were 2 bucks for a Pepsi or a water, and there was nothing for free...nickled and dimed to death. They tell all the staff to say 'good morning', 'good Afternoon', 'good Evening' and if you walk past 30 staff, you have to say back...well you don't HAVE to, but I'm polite as Hell, believe it or not...so a walk to get some ice from the vending room (Sorry THAT was still 'free') entails conversing with at least 8 people, none of whom were guests - can't really criticize people for being corporately polite I guess...most of the guests were distinctly unfriendly even when I would say a word to someone in an elevator. some really boorish and lots of McCain/Palin stickers and Bush/Cheney AND...get this one Reagan/Bush sticker ON A NEW CAR!!

Wow to that...

As I said at the outset, the antique auto Museum was remarkable...but the 'virtual tour' of the factory was horrendous...they put you in a moving vehicle and have fake assembly lines and lecture you on the nutritiousness of candy bars...it works though...the gift shop was overrun with people buying all sorts of confections including but not limited to, a 5 lb. Hershey Bar...for 39.95! Plus tax of course...

And they'll sell you a pic of you in the little car touring the 'plant' for 13 dollars! A bargain!

Don't forget the Reese's Peanut Butter cup t-shirts...on 11 dollars for you to advertise their product! Did you know, for example, that that particular orange of Reese's was copy written in the 1970's? I sure didn't...I thought the color spectrum was public domain...but what do I know?

I'm tired and have to go to bed...but I'll say one thing about Hershey, PA...it is the damnedest cleanest town I have ever been in...you can almost literally eat off the floors...the public places sure as heck are cleaner than any hospital we have down here in Philly, let me tell you.

And that...was what I did on my Summer 'vacation'.
 

Wow.  Sounds like PCIntern spent some serious bucks .....

Hershey Park is $50 just to get in. That is ludicrous. Plus, Republican stickers in PA? Yeah, right.

Actually Pennsylvania is pretty conservative, it's the frigging Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas that determine the election.

Oh my.

Well, we all know what the dental office secretary primitive, allegedly an affluent dentist but probably the office secretary (or cleaning woman), didn't do during his summer vacation; he didn't donate to the 3rd quarter fund drive for Skins's island.

5. My ex-in-laws lived in Hershey when I was part of the family.

It is a lovely town. We didn't do any of the tourist things when I was there, but yes, it was one of the cleanest and most manicured places I think I have ever been.

I know that back in the day the Hersheys did a lot of philanthropy, but I don't know if that has changed since things have changed a lot since back then.

My family is from around that area.  My parents tell me that PA is pretty red down the middle.    

We threw a 'NObama 08' sticker on the back of our 2010 rental minivan when we went up to Mt. Rushmore last month.  
We had to beat the complimenters off with a stick!  Lots of thumbs up, and several people wondering where we got the sticker from, so they could get one.  

Here it is, near the Minuteman Missile site in SD.

I went to Hershey Park when I was a kid.  I thought it was cool.  Probably pretty expensive at the time, but it was really cool.  I rode the Sooper Dooper Looper.  Way cool. 

And I don't even like chocolate!

What a selfish little primitive. How many pounds of 'medical marijuana' or cold drinks for drive through beggars could have been purchased for what he/she wasted on a vacation?
Bad DUmmy!


Actually went up to Hershey a few years ago for a concert. Pretty nice place but we didn't have the cash to drop on the most expensive hotel in town. Is this primitive attempting to pick up where greenbriar left off?

You're *******ed right, you repugnant little shit. Unlike your sorry-ass, I spent 25 years working my ass off to get where I am today, hence I make no opprobirum for enjoying the fruits of my labor.

So Wolf, if you're ever in LA, and you see a mint condition 1989 Porshce 928S parked outside Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, and an overweight white guy in sunglasses with a goatee out on the patio smoking a Newport and drinking a Bombay Sapphire martini, do me a favor and stay the **** out of my sight.

So one visits Hershey and a gun is held to his/her head forcing them to go to Hersheypark! Not only that, but they evidently force them to buy expensive junk food. Nor could they bring their own water or drink out of a fountain, I guess. And to add insult to injury, hotel management actually expects their staff to be friendly! The nerve!

That sounds like a vacation I would take, but I'm a cheap bastard.  At least when I'm by myself.

A wheat vodka distilled in France.

Me?  I prefer Monopolowa, potato vodka distilled in Austria.

You're a "better" woman, than I. Can't do potato vodka...

I drink Skyy or Stoli, if mixing it with something...but I want Grey Goose for martinis.

I had a vodka in Italy, at a small little bar...it was lemon flavored, (it was not limoncello) and they kept it in the freezer. It was a wee bit thick...I guess from the cold. Had it straight and it was wonderful. I couldn't find it in the Duty-free shop at the airport, and now I've forgotten the name. Was in a really neat bottle though.  :banghead:

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
