******NEWS FLASH*******

Hey Guys,

I just got a piece of sad news...for all of us H. I. peeps. Ken's friend just told him that HI will be closing their doors as of June!

Of course I am sure they will renovate and be back...but that GREAT price for GREAT fun is probably long gone!

Alright, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bless-ed,

Gill

OMG! So, that was true. I was hoping it was a joke or just rumor. I think it has a lot to do with the Riu going up in Mobay. Wow, what are all those people going to do?

*****GOOD NEWS*****

Ken got a job! He is going to be working at a Jamaican/Chinese Restaurant/Night Club! Doing what he does...being a Jack of all trades!!! My Dad knows the owner and told him to bring Ken down last night for an 11:00pm interview ...I was like pure foolishness that! But, Ken came back like... . He said "Baby Gurl, mi mash hup deh hinterview! Mi tell deh ooman nuf tings mi see fuh fix and clean up inna dis place!" He gave his resume & letters of recommendation! Then he started pointing out things to her and how he could fix it or make it better... she was like..."YOU'RE HIRED!!! Come back tomorrow at 9AM!!!"

Plus because he is legal she started him off at a DYAM good rate and told him she will increase it if he saves her $$ on hiring outside people to fix things!! She also told him if he does a good job she will continue to allow him to work there until he gets his green card!! THANK GOD!!! GOD IS GOOD!!! So I dropped him off this morning! He was so excited...I almost felt like I was dropping off one of my kids at school for the first time!

Thank you all for your prayers and blessings!

We sincerely appreciate it!

Have a happy Monday!

I suspect they will reopen under a different name. They were bought out by another company. If I remember right, it was some guy who owns a few hotels throughout the island. Not a chain, though.

Great news, Gill. So happy for you.

Tre.....that's what I am wondering.....what will our friends do. I do admit, I am thanking God Andre doesn't work there anymore. It was a good job; but they sure didn't treat their people very well. I hope this new hotelier will be better.

Gurl,

The new owner is Chinese and he said he isn't hiring NONE of the current Management staff...when it re-opens in 2009!

I told Ken that too...probably the RIU. Not to mention the same guy owns the Sunset Beach in Freeport...so he wants to make dyam sure there is no spilt in profits for the summertime cause he just renovated the Sunset last year!

Dyam shame!!

I didn't have a good experience at H.I. but I wish all the employee the best.

They are supposedly buying out the contractors (workers that were not directly working for HI...but for Crystal) with $15,000 a pop! But that nuh ah guh serve dem too long!

Gurl, I said the same thing...like "WOW...you are truly bless-ed!! Cause if this would have happened this time last year...we would have been SCREWED!!!" However, Ken is still really worried about his friends at H.I.!!

Wonder what renovations they are going to do. The old renovations post-hurricane (was it Ivan?) were fairly impressive.

The old management was #######. They were my biggest problem.

I just received an email from the Director of Sales of the Hol Inn Sunspree Montego Bay. He is currently in Jamaica and he is not aware of the hotel closing or being sold to anyone. He told me that the hotel is in **consideration** of renovating and if that happens it will be Sept for 1 month (because of the slow time). He was very interested to know who started this rumor....I said I just heard from a client of a client...

If I hear of any other information, I'll be sure to forward it to everyone.
