It's safe to say just the rooms will be well over a million dollars. Add to that the lost revenue the hotel will suffer because the royal party also booked all of the restaurants, there are eleven, the banquet and ball rooms.<br /><br />Then add in the hotel rooms at the other luxury hotels.<br /><br />How does someone pay for a week for two days of vacation? I assume their RH need security in there five days early to assure they are safe and won't be disturbed by having to share the hotel with anyone else.<br /><br />If this is happening in one stop, you can bet the game plan is the same for all stops. <br /><br />There will, of course, be a meeting with the heads of state, so this is a "business" trip and the taxpayers pick up the tab. <br /><br />The cost for the first two days alone is in the millions and there are still ten days to follow of the business of America. <br /><br />That business is usually apologizing for us being such bastards while we pay for the royals to suffer the pain of living in the White House. Fortunately, they can take a few hundred of their closest friends to the finest hotels and spas in the world to soothe their agony. <br /><br />Remember the Spain vacation? Since HRH met with the Spanish leaders, that can technically be a "business" trip also. I'm willing to bet money that nuance was not lost on our leadership.<br /><br />Since America is broke and operating on borrowed money from China, primarily, that means this lavish vacation, er business trip, will be financed on the China Express credit card, so we need to add in the interest, but who's counting thousands as long as our royalty is happy?Julie Weathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725236516593676381noreply@blogger.com
