July
30

As of  07.30 in the morning on Friday July 30 2010

Buses are still running and we see taxis in all the usual places, so far.

Petrol/gas delivery lorries/trucks are still not delivering fuel to petrol/gas stations(for the most part).

This will be over with in a couple of days (75% probability) and before the 3rd August (95%+ probability)

[ I would hardly give any event much more than a 95% probability as the world is just not made that way! ]

As Taxis and buses (well all buses, some taxis) run on diesel, diesel supplies are still intact  for longer.  Also, diesel cars are just about unheard of and almost unavailable here, so they don’t use up any remaining supplies.

I understand the concerns of our visitors – and apologize for your having to even consider this nonsensical situation.
I think that it will be ok quite soon as you can tell from what I have said above.

That’s the on-the-spot and “boots-on-the-ground” update from our observation point in Crete, reports from other areas of Greece and a combination of news and personal testimony from those areas beyond Crete itself.

An astonishingly timely hotel concept launches today with the opening of the first 7 hotels in the newborn X-Hotels™ chain. This infant in the worldwide hospitality scene is expected to grow fast – there will be 30 X-Hotels open within 6 months and brand-linked cafes and restaurants under the X-Presso™ and X-Delectable™ names will start appearing on every continent by year’s end.

After the record breaking success of 5 Star Raft Hotels (only one problem occurred with a 5 Star Raft Hotel that is still un-tethered and floating in a non-constant elliptical pattern in the south China seas) X-Hotels chairman and CEO Goodnight Sleep will preside over the launch today which will be screened live at Wi-Max cinemas worldwide (3D glasses provided).

A revolutionary and discriminatory pricing system will use data gained from customer’s internet search preferences to fix a price that the Psycho-Pricing™ system shows they will at that moment, be willing to pay. No more crude REV PAR and revenue management systems. Where one guest is “happy” to pay 300 dollars another may pay only 37 all the way on up to the X-Presidential Suites – that’s what they’ll be quoted. Prices might vary for these 400 square meter dens of luxury and convenience, from 200 to 357,000 dollars per night.
In most cases check-in will take place after each guest has been amply welcomed at the hotel bar – experience shows that this “conditions” guests to be a bit more free-spending, thus agreeing to a higher per night room price.

Rooms will all be equipped with rainforest™ shower heads to give a “real meaty shower” avoiding the dribbling faucet experience justified in a lot of feverishly eco-obsessed hotels today.

X-shaped pools improve swim-flow during peak swimming hours.

A new active social policy from X-Hotels means we won’t charge any sales taxes, VAT or hotel taxes – we just don’t charge them, we don’t believe in them. So we take care of squeezing this money back out of the politicians so you don’t have to pay it when you stay at an X-Hotel, why should you?

With an XtraFast™ growth strategy, the chain is expected to quickly become the world’s first “Too Big to Fail” hotel chain and part of the pitch to investors has been this very approach and the top goal to find its own way to benefit from Geithner/Bernanke-Care.

Modeled on the original English pub system of Public bar and Lounge bar – X-Hotels will be designed to operate well in areas of the world where rival warlords would never be seen drinking together….from Check-in counter and lobby areas, to cafes, restaurants and bars there will be “two sides” to everything – designed by renegade UN peacekeeping officials-turned-architects.

Why the name “X-Hotels”? CEO Goodnight Sleep says “it’s obvious really, X is the next letter available in the one letter brand market and we decided on a name that’s easy to remember, write and say – or at least have fun trying. Also we decided to take it before anyone else got there”.

We will also theme some elements of each country’s X-Hotels to provide the ideal haven, For example in the UK guests will be able to enjoy the total lack of surveillance cameras and also be provided with dummy camera toys in case withdrawal symptoms set in. In the USA “no change” zones will be provided to offer peace and quiet and a chance to really relax in the Homeland.

In the larger X-Hotel Resorts there’s a new Gordon Brown room for those who wish to be on a deprived diet or think “pain and suffering, guilt and misery are good for longevity”.  Specialist misery therapists will give you the best “reduction and deterioration” treatment anywhere.

These larger leisure properties will also have an Obama-Care™ Spa Courtyard and Lounge offering a self service set of therapies (had to be self-service because no doctor or qualified professional was willing to appear within the walls of this new offering) . The Deluxe X-massage Self-Massage can only be imagined!

Proof of the future success for X-Hotels is seen in the large number of enthusiastic TripAdvisor reviews prior to the opening of the first hotel.

The first 7 X-Hotels:

X-Hotel Bleeker street, Manhattan
X-Hotel Adobe, Santa Fe, NM
X-Hotel Monterey Bay, CA
X-Hotel Miraflores, Lima, Peru
X-Hotel Leicester Square, London
X-Hotel Ronda , Andalucia, Spain
X-Hotel, Kano, Nigeria

In July the X-Hotel Rangoon will bring luxury back to Burma.

A NASDAQ listing is planned for early April 2011

SuperbGreece could expand to cover many more countries.

That’s really what we should do after our visit to WTM, otherwise known as the World Travel Market in London recently. (And, after so many SuperbGreece customers have begged us to offer them the same service, for Italy, Spain and anywhere they happen to be traveling to.)

WTM is an annual confab and show for those in the travel biz – from what we saw and yes it was helpful, there is, much room for great creativity and imagination in the travel business – there are but few who are “new”. So it really suggests the totally “new” methods of doing business with the unique honesty and bountiful helpfulness of SuperbGreece – started in fact, new, some 5 years ago!. We are thinking, we are planning and who knows where we will go next!

The show took place at the massive London Excel centre way out east on the ever expanding London river scene. As we booked late we found ourselves staying in a hotel within a few steps of the entrance of the show, one with rooms in which it would have been impossible to take more than two steps. So small were the rooms, a modular glass fibre bathroom unit, WC unit and separate wash basin appear to have been installed on a plug-in basis, giving rooms the feel of a low-price cruise ship or ferry. Very functional however, and you can’t beat the price (for London anyway).

So will there be a Superb Italy next….? Perhaps Spain..? Only the future will tell.
