So...how exactly do you get a cat into an Elvis costume? Sedatives? It probably has to be one of those de-clawed house cats because we know our cat would not stand for that.Humans meanwhile had a better time at the show sipping on $20 specialty drinks like the Purr-tini and the

It was the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pacific+Palisades+Hotel+-+A+Kimpton+Hotel/ian/123668">Pacific Palisades</a> in Vancouver, a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Kimpton%20Hotels">Kimpton</a> property with a sort of funky retro beach-y vibe. [Note: when we think Canada, "retro beach-y" does not come to mind. We know.] We hinted about the wine hour -- a tradition at all Kimpton properties -- and noted that they talk funny here. Since the Pacific Palisades is the only Canadian Kimpton (and Canada is clearly the only place in the world where they talk funny), it should have been a dead giveaway...but we thought a shot of the home of Kimpton's famed <a

Bora Bora: Le Meridien Bora Bora Hatches Some New Baby Turtles

juliana — 2008-03-13T17:25:55-05:00

In our interview with Le Meridien Bora Bora's Sales and Marketing Director, Nicolas Orget, he was very enthusiastic about the hotel's Turtle Sanctuary which helps baby turtles mature away from harm.

And some good news: this past weekend 59 baby green sea turtles were born at the resort.

The turtles weigh less than 1 oz and are about 2 inches in length. These eggs were actually brought to the Turtle Sanctuary by poachers and the Sanctuary's caretaker made a nest for them at the resort. The baby turtles will stay in the nursery for one year and in the resort's interior lagoon until they are 2 or 3 years old.

Awwww....
