Summary
Either I am losing my mind — no comments pertaining to that, please — or something screwy is going on lately with the marketing department at Starwood Preferred Guest, as I posted an article earlier today pertaining to a promotion which I found confusing.
Why in the world would a promotion for hotel and resort properties located in Hawaii — which was a state in the United States the last time I checked — be a reason to celebrate Canada?
Perhaps the next promotion should be a celebration of Bastille Day in Bahrain; Cinco de Mayo in Syria; or Thanksgiving Day in North Korea.
Silly me for celebrating 150 years since Canada became a confederation by going to the Rocky Mountains in Canada and seeing sights such as:
- Johnston Canyon
- Lake Louise From a Slightly Different Perspective
- The Beauty — and Disappointment — of Bow Glacier and Bow Lake
- Spectacular Views of Peyto Glacier and Peyto Lake
- Scenic Vermillion Lakes in Banff National Park
- Maligne Lake Was Maligned by Pouring Rain
- Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park
- Breathtaking View of Banff From Mount Norquay
- Stutfield Glacier at Columbia Icefield
- Tangle Creek Falls is So Easy to Visit
- Meet Some of My New Animal Friends From the Canadian Rocky Mountains
- Gap Lake — A Good Starting Point
