Termite Wings, Dirt, and Slug O My!

Note: I was invited to experience Paws Up Resort in Missoula, Montana on a meeting planners FAM. (i.e., be wined and dined so I bring groups/events/conferences to their venue)

Allegiant Air flies three times a week to MSO from LAX: Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays at 6am. Yippeee!  So upon arriving at MSO, the staff picks you up and 45 minutes later you arrive at the Ranch: a 37,000 acres ranch in the middle of nowhere Montana. I'm sure they were aware of my 9:25am arrival, so I'm unsure why my room wasn't ready until 4pm...but that's ok. I was given a tour of the property and prepared for the big "Montana Grillers Weekend." Couples were spending $5K+ for this weekend, and here I was experiencing it! My "estate" was huge...and I was so happy to see a large jacuzzi soaking tub in my bathroom. I eagerly filled it with hot water anticipating a relaxing, hot bath before dinner. Upon turning on the jacuzzi jets, termite wings, dirt and slug spew out of the jets. Nice. Clearly no one cleaned the jacuzzi in months...welcome to Paws Up, Dear Meeting Planner. Please bring all your high level executives here. It's only $1500/night lodging...termite wings and slug included.

Plan B: A hot shower. The shower was huge--complete with two rainfall shower heads and enough room for 6 people to shower. Oops...no hot water?  Really.
