About Me

Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Our Free Award Night at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead}

Yes, Hyatt Hotels do have lots of perks. From the beginning, when my husband Pieter was still Vice President Training & Development for Campbell Soup, he often stayed at the Hyatt Cherry Hill, NJ. 
That hotel is no longer under their label but from 1984, Pieter had his Hyatt Gold Card which came with great perks. Not only did they offer free nights but also a free airline ticket and cruise. All that has stopped, yes the luxury and glamour as we know it from the 80s and 90s, is no more.
BUT Hyatt still offers many perks and high courtesy. So we are happy that we've stayed with them for several decades now, as a loyal customer and we even use their Hyatt Credit Card (Visa), together with the Platinum Hyatt card, for which we even earn faster points for free nights.
Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, like all their Hyatt hotels, has the highest comfort level bedding... almost like at home!
Down pillows on this King-Sized Hyatt Grand Bed™with down duvet blanket.
Well, being a many decades loyal customer at Hyatt, does pay off!
Look what they did bring up to our room; out of courtesy.
That makes one very happy!
So we comfortably did nestle ourselves and yes we did indulge!
Even a personal Welcome like this on the screen...
A rather healthy treat with fresh fruits, almonds, cranberries and delicious cheeses.
Prepared with love!
For breakfast I did have waffles with fresh berries and I forgot to take a picture...
As a matter-of-fact, I hate to show a half eaten piece...
So I only can show you husband Pieter's Roasted Spring Vegetable Frittata, made from Egg beaters, squash, mushrooms, arugula, red onions, bell peppers.

We always look forward to staying there again!

  2. It is nice when you get a free night and complimentary service, too. I try to stay in the same type of hotels when we travel in the summer so that by the end of the trip, I also have at least 1-3 nights free. Every little bit helps when you are traveling long term.

  3. Dag Mariette,

    Mooi meegenomen zo'n gratis overnachtingen en al dat extra's.

    Snap nooit goed hoe het inelkaar steekt met dit soort concepten, ik zeg altijd: voor niks gaat de zon op en op een of andere manier heb je het toch zelf betaald of de andere gasten betalen te veel voor hun overnachtingen.
    Bij alles wat je koopt zitten de totale kosten ingecalculeerd in de prijzen.
    Het zal bij jullie niet anders zijn dan hier.

    Zie nog altijd liever een vriendelijk lachende gastvrouw of heer die met uitgestoken hand de gasten begroet dan een kil zakelijk beeldscherm wat mij begroet bij het betreden van hotelkamer.

    Fijne dag,
    Ger

  7. oh, this brought back memories from my Clinique days. While I appreciated everything, in the end, the time sacrifice was not worth it. Hindsight!
