I've had my mouse for nearly seven years and it's still going strong, did try one of those new fangled gadgets that they call a cordless mouse but was using up an unbelievable amount of batteries just to keep it going!!

It wasn't just the hotel that produced memories but also the locals, some who were characters in their own right, especially one female. Came very close to an encounter with her onc...
