Go HAM on them. Don’t stop until the CEO of Marriott personally mails you an apology.

BTW, I’m not being facetious here. I have a colleague who went through a similar issue. Personal vacation caused damage to personal property. Because the firm we work for was responsible for so many hotel bookings at Marriott properties globally and he raised a fuss, he got a personal apology alongside a compensation.

Buy some new shorts, shirt, and slippers. Say hello to Travis at the pool (he will look you up), head to Merriman’s for a Mai Tai, and be thankful that you can’t log on. File a claim when you are ready to go home. Aloha.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed.

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
