Great staff and location.
The hotel staff are fairly kind, the rooms and facilities are very clean and well-maintained.
it is not just a hotel room but a studio.makes the stay much more confortable.
The apartment was excellent, we had booked a studio but on arrival were given a free upgrade to a 1 bed apartment on the 15th floor. The view was fantastic and the apartment spacious, clean and very quiet. Its location was such that it was easy to find from the station, and only a 10min stroll to the old town or across the river. nothing
Great view. I have stay in 15th floor. Amzing.
Situation Price
Spacious new apartments ideally located in the city. Very kind staff.
The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. Our room was large, comfortable, and modern. We had a beautiful view of the city from our room on the 16th floor. The hotel was just outside of what I would consider the "seedy" area of Frankfurt--near the train station. Just walk the opposite direction (east) and the area is beautiful. Very close to the river, Sachsenhausen, and the Romer. We parked our car when we arrived and didn't need it once--almost everything is in walking distance. We would stay here again without question. The staff at the restaurant was very nice but the food was pretty mediocre. Eat elsewhere.
Brand new hotel in great city centre location (about 20 min walk from and exhibition halls). Very friendly staff and excellent facilities.
The size of appartment was very good, plenty of space. The fitness facilities and swimming pool also very good.
stylish old building with high ceilings, easy to find a parking place near the hotel
very convenient nothing negative. website choice which was exactly right. sorry stay was cut short due to unforeseen circumstances.
central location
The bedrooms were beautiful!
Very well situated, close to the main station and not far from the shopping area. Clean, well-appointed room, adequate breakfast. The ideal place to stay for a short break in Frankfurt.
I loved the stylish cosiness of my room & the outlook onto a beautiful old historic building opposite. I wished that there was an English language option on TV other than CNN or BBC-news only channels. Jet lag makes for some long wakeful hours in the middle of the night when tv can help to pass the time...
The single rooms in this hotel and very small and have a claustrophobic feel, will high ceilings and little floor space. Whilst the rooms are clean the facilities are lacking. Single rooms are OK for the budget traveller but not ideal for business.
The cleanliness and comfort of the room. The facilities were modern, clean and adequate for a short stay.
Great location, friendly efficient staff and superb value!
Comfort, price and central location.
The breakfast has a good selection of cereals, cheese, bread and fruits. The room is clean and comfortable. The reception is helpful in providing us with a map and direction to the city.
It was located between main train station and shopping center.
Location (easy to reach the business and touristical points) Functioning the plumbing in the bathroom
I upgraded my room at checkin for a larger room and actually was given a smaller room with a shower that did not work, when I went to check out it seems that the staff did not care about the problems. I did manage to get them to reduce the rate to a standard room.
Really close to the financial district and the train station. It is in the centre. The district isn't the best, but I didn't have any problem.
Very close to Frankfurt main train station. 10 minutes walk to shopping area. Hotel parking cost 15 Euro per night which is to much.
breakfast was good and room comfortable only one towel when two people staying. having to go to restaurant to get teabags and milk, when not replaced. Could not shut the door, it just would not lock. we got the housemaid and the receptionist and handy man none could shut the door to lock. perhaps we were unlucky
thre were no chair in my room.
Very conveinient location. Friendly helpful staff. Hotel was quiet and very comfortable
The hotel is close to the red light district. There were always some suspicious persons around. I once saw a man giving some drugs to another man on a street near the hotel. Otherwise the hotel was good.
Nothing. We were moved to another hotel when they couldn't fulfill our reservation, which was made months prior to our stay. Our reservation was not honored. Members of our group who arrived earlier were given 2 rooms when the Memphis Hotel didn't have any double rooms. We walked our bags about a mile to another hotel. I would NEVER, EVER recommend this place to anyone. Be forewarned..... a "reservation" doesn't mean a darn thing to Memphis Hotel.
Hotel was ok. Double ws two twins pushed together and internet went down. Bathroom really nice
Simple, friendly service - no frills but basics all absolutely perfect.
Front desk staff was very helpful in directions and setting up tours. The continental breakfast every morning was fantastic. The pillows are not very comfortable, quite flat.
It was good as location in the center that's the only thing I liked. It's was very hot , actually very hot ( sauna) room I'm not sure if I'm gonna take a room there again! The service and reception was Ok not good not bad!!
The hotel was in a good location close to the train station, several good restaurants, and a short walk to the city center. I had a good WiFi connection in my room. The room and bathroom were clean. I would stay here again. There were no extra amenities like hot water/coffee maker or travel soap and shampoo in the bathroom. The bathroom did have soap dispensers.
good price,free internet ,just it small room,cooling with fan only
Rooms were clean Location is good No air conditioning Elevator is too small
Very near by Frankfurt main station, 5 min on foot. Clean and new facilites. Friendly staffs. Good breakfast. There is no climate control, too hot and dry to sleep.
The hotel is very near the main train station which provides a good access to wherever you want to go in the city. The hotel staff were not very helpful and the room was poorly decorated. The safety deposit box was not functioning properly.
Nothing The hotel is by all means not a 4 Star hotel in comparison with any other 4 star hotels that I stayed in anywhere in the world. In my opinion it can be rated as 1-2 Stars. Room was like a prison cell, Staff totally unhelpful, room was not cleaned once during 3 nights, Breakfast was poor & of cheap quality -Lidyl's grosseries-, Hotel car Parking was a catastrophe.
does not correspond to 4 star hotel
Confusion of reservation status and invoice problem.
convenient location
Good access from central station I think, because it was next to the hostel, there was very much noise all night.
The localization of the hotel was very good, only two blocks from the central train station, which is very convenient for turists.
Very good service from the young Vietnamese reception staff; Very spacious bathroom facilities (for us as a family of three). My wife had important business transactions after our Frankfurt stay; regrettably she spent two night used your Internet facilities with limited success.
I've stayed in the room N°200, next to the lift, lower floor closed to the breakfast room. The room seems to be the smallest room from this hotel after my visit of 2 other guests rooms. It was dark facing walls of other buildings and the floor plenty of cigarettes of customers from upper floors. I've been surprised to see that room was not clean at my arrival. After mentionning it to the hotel management, they've refreshed it but bed sheets have not been changed. I am sure that the hotel is using this kind of room as waiting room for a few hours. Avoid room 200. The hotel is next to 2 sex shops.
It's centrally located and the price is nice. Hard to find the place and find somewhere to park
Close to the main railway station. Chinese food reasonable price and good.
It was downtown. It needed air conditioning.
If you have a room at the back it is very quiet good location - close to main station (hbf) and shops and restaurants room was small (but normal for city centre) right next to red light district (good for some, bad for others!)
The staff were very helpful and well spoken in english, the breakfasts were well displayed and fresh. No complaints at all.
safe, sleep, cleen, internet good. no
hotel staff, services, cleanliness and easy to find on map
This second time at the Carlton I got an excellent room, the wifi service was perfect, the staff people are nice and welcoming, the breakfast is very good and is included in the price. It is perfect for a single man travelling for business at the Book Fair, taking into consideration the specificities of the hotel industry in the city of Frankfurt.
i ordered a non smoking room, got a smoking room, unbelievable smell...
Staff Price, rooms
Staff is good, breakfast is good, near to station..wifi available in rooms bathrooms are terrible, rooms space are very small
clean room and hotel, kindness of staff breakfast buffet quite pour, couldnt use my notebook as lack of useable electricity devices.
it is near the near station and with in walking distance to many stie attraction. We manage to check in early after our flight from singapore. It is clsoe by the casio and red light. No very safe to move around at night. Check out time of 1100H not later. WC is small and breakfast is very simple.
Friendly staff, comfortable bed, good breakfast, free internet use. There was a strange smell in the room all the time.
nothing This was a hotel that was in the red light district. The rooms were not nice, nor were they particularly clean. The pics on the web make this place look wonderful , but they in no way show you what this place truly looks like. The sheets had holes in them, one of the night stands was broken, the duvet was dirty, and the bathroom was less than clean. It made Motel 6 look like the The Del in California. We stayed in three other places in Germany that cost less and were lovely compared to this place. This should not be a recommended place.
The location close to the main train station and very convenient fortransfer to the airport I was happy with everything
The hotel was very clean and well run. It included a hairdryer. Rooms on the back are quiet - I had no problems with anything.
It is located near the Rail way station and the wifi was very good noise in the rooms and I don't recomend it fr families with children as it is located near the Sex- shops (red spot) area.also the breackfast was poor
Nice and kind staff
Breakfast Street noise & noise from nightclub below room.
It was convient for transportation, nice and neat room for customer. Very simple breakfast, lower speed of WIFI internet connection
Nice hotel, room, friendly staff
Hotel staff were always helpful and kind. Our room was very comfortable, the bathrrom was clean and well-kept, towels were changed every day. Breakfast buffet was limited but quite complete. Hotel location near the Central Station and the city´s main landmarks is perfect.
the lift to many running beatles in the room in the morning...
close to train station smelly smokey room. shower and beds too small.
Some visitors may not like having a free porn tv channel.
It was center of everything and the room was lovely plus the beds were so comfortable
The Shower The size of the room
There is a drug addiction institute just stuck to the hotel. The drug addicts inject their drugs into their veins just in front of the hotel or some have some anxiety attacks.
it was close to the train station and to the shopping center the room was not clean there was small cockroges in the bathroom
Its location: it's near Frankfurt red light area and you'll see lots of junkies and homeless around.
Not there long enough to judge; arrived 7pm left 6am rather seedy part of town
It is very noisy
There are too many Night Club nearby,it is not safe enough.
the fact that it is in the red light district of frankfurt also right opposite are 3 strip club/brothels and that prostitutes ply thier trade right past the hotel and there is evidence of frequent drug use i.e discarded dirty needles on the pavement
location, location, location close to red light district if you are a girl. no facilities, poor breakfast, they asked to pay all in advance!!!
Location. The hotel staff was nice, friendly and helpful. Nothing really.
I would never recommend this hotel, not even to my worst enemy.
Clean room, friendly & helpful staff, convenient location Location in the red light district of Frankfurt a possible cause of concern when accessing at night
Nothing.. No one at the reception speaks english.. It is right in the middle of the red light district..drug dealers openly selling drugs on the hotel door steps.. Please avoid this hotel.. ! sex shops all around..
The friendly staff and central location and the truly excellent breakfasts. Converting a mediaeval Guild-Hall into class hotel accommodation does have its problems but that can be put down to "quaintness". We all liked it, really.
nothing shappy furnishing
We were aloud to see the rooms before checking in. And the first receptionist was very kind in giving us useful information. Room was dirty, we even had a cockroach walking about. We were nearlly the only guests in the room and they didn't wait for breakfast and they didn't give us a refund. Also the hotel is in a poor area of the city. A lot of junkies using needles in front of the hotel.
The friendly and helpful staff, the proximity to places of interest to me and transport links, and only a 10-minute walk to the Frankfurt Book Fair. The room was very basic and still felt like it was a room where people had been smoking in the past - presumably it's difficult to erase that unless you change carpets. I had three sinks in my room, but only one worked. However, the en suite bathroom was adequate with a good shower.
Nothing Everything, the location is right in the red light area, Internet was not available as promised, attached bath was not there, as mentioned in my reservation, attempt to walk me away to another hotel, charged extra than mentioned in the booking.com page.
The price was right, it was clean and very convenient to the railway station, the breakfast room on the eighth floor was lovely, and the breakfast was excellent. The location was a bit unfortunate (at the edge of the red light district). Also, the hotel seems in need of maintenance. There were three washbasins in the room but two didn't work, the elevator did not work on all floors, and the drapes in our room had come away at the top and didn't close.
The staff were very helpful and kind.The room we had, with the bathroom ensuite was perfect. The entryway is awful, makes it look like a sleay scary hotel. Don't know what you can do about that except rent space nearby to attach a decent lobby. The Five Squares (Four Squares) on the same block looks much more lovely, with a groundfloor cafe with wifi. It also advertises itself as a hostel. Frankly except for it being Frankfurt Book Fair week, the price was too high for the rest of the time: $180 euros for this is not a good value except during the Book Messe. See above for my critical comments. The lobby is the size of a bathroom and dirty. The street life which goes until dawn means one has to use earplugs. But despite all this, probably because we had one of the best rooms, our stay in the room was perfect for two single women.
The location is ok. Near to train station comfortable for tourist.
The hotel is conviniently located in very central Frankfurt but the area is sexy business area. If you don't mind that, the location is great. The room was very small but clean. Breakfast is very simple, but coffee is OK. Great value for the money. You can't do much about the surroundings...
The location of the hotel is the major appeal. The room is simply furnitured but OK for use. Breakfast isn't poor as some travellers complainted.
A resonably priced hotel that was very clean. Rooms are basic and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean and modern. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Located right in the middle of the more lively part of town 2 minutes from train station. I felt perfectly safe. If you want a cheap stay with no frills this is your man.
The price when booking was too extreme (four times higher than onsite)
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the nice people working there. The rooms are small and are a little shabby (walls are scuffed and need repainting, curtains are worn-looking, shower fixtures should be replaced).
staff was very nice. Unbearable noise from outside till 1am. The street is situated in the Red Light District (Lap dancers waiting opposite in front of a night club). Wi-Fi was not working. No Telly in the room. A night from hell.
200 meters from central station. Shopping street around 15 mins walk away. Lot of restuarents nearby. Free High speed Internet. Very Clean rooms. Hotel Owner very nice and attentive. At this price i will stay there again. In the middle of Redlight Area.
the room seemed clean, the bed was comfortable, it was obviously recently renovated with quality materials, there did not seem to be activity in the hotel related to the sex trade on the street but if there was it was discreet. the manager tried to be helpful it was located deep in the sex shop/girly show section of Frankfurt, it was noisy all night with street activity applicable to the trade on the street, the breakfast was set out hours before and was of poor quality, we felt uncomfortable on the street
Staff were very friendly. couldnt do enough for the guests.
Staff were good Room was awful and stinked of cigarette smoke.
noone dirty, unconfortable...never again
The location was what I was looking for. The hotel needs to redo its bathrooms.
the remote control for the TV did not work. The receptionist told me it was not his responsibility to take care of remote controls although he did help me eventually. There was a smell coming from the toilet (which was eventually fixed). The hotel is not in the good area of the town.
The guys at the reception, they did their best under the circumstances. Phone in room did not work. Remote control did not work. There was no air-conditioner.
The location is horrible with strip joints all around and drug dealings going on outside the door. I was there 2 nights and saw three fights and women urinating the the street

On January 28, nearly one-fifth of the world's population will begin the 15-day celebration of Chinese New Year. The holiday, also known as the Spring Festival, sets the tone for the year ahead and is a time for family members to reunite and share joy in successes, prosperity and good health. As the world's borders become increasingly blurred, you may find that you have friends, colleagues or clients who observe the holiday.
Show your appreciation for their culture by familiarizing yourself with the meaning and traditions of Chinese New Year. In this video, Irene Teng, Managing Director of Europe, Africa and Asia - Management Accounting, with the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, highlights some of the customs and shares quick tips on how to greet clients and colleagues during the holiday. You can also learn more here.
For all who celebrate, we wish you a very Happy Chinese New Year!
As December draws to a close, I've been reflecting on the many ways difference and respect have been brought to the forefront in our communities and on the political stage this year. I've witnessed tragedies and heard disturbing rhetoric that have left many in our nation feeling unsettled, and even fearful. We cannot ignore these realities because they help shape our strategies for the future. And while it may be difficult for some, we all must do our best to continue to move forward and lead with clear vision. It's important to recognize that respect, inclusion and difference made real advancements in 2016, and will continue to do so in years to come.
With this in mind, I'd like to take a moment to highlight several accomplishments in the accounting profession that I am particularly proud of, as well as accomplishments within AICPA's diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives.
Strong Cadre of Women Now Leading Our Profession
In October, Kimberly N. Ellison-Taylor, CPA, CGMA and global accounting strategy director for Oracle America was elected as the new chairman of the AICPA board of directors. As the first African-American and fifth woman to hold this role, I find it particularly inspiring in this time of change to see that the AICPA, at our highest levels, is not just talking about diversity and inclusion, but enthusiastically moving highly qualified diverse individuals into leadership roles.
Within the accounting profession, 2015 witnessed major organizations, including Deloitte LLP and KMPG, hiring women for leadership roles, notably Cathy Engelbert, CEO at Deloitte, and Lynne Doughtie, CEO at KPMG. These women, along with Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, continued to blaze trails in 2016 within their organizations and the profession. It will be exciting to see the energy and innovation they will drive as we move into 2017.
2016 AICPA D&I Initiatives
At the AICPA, we launched several D&I initiatives in 2016 designed to drive more students into the pipeline, as well as support the profession, such as:
In the profession, we continued to make strides to educate our members and bring forth greater understanding and growth.
As I conclude, I'd like to leave you with another reason for optimism: We are seeing what hopefully will become a trend across the country, as companies take a stand for their employees, customers and communities.
Notably, we saw many companies respond publically to North Carolina's House Bill 2, which requires transgender people to use restrooms in schools and other public buildings that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate, not their gender identity. Passed in March 2016, this law also limits other anti-discrimination protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
I'm encouraged by the thoughtful leadership we have in organizations today, and want you to know that the AICPA will continue to be not only a catalyst for change regarding workplace diversity and inclusion, but a leader that will continue to drive change and inclusion within our profession.

In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
For Angela Ho, CPA, CGMA, dichotomy has been a constant presence in her life: East and west. Public accounting and business/industry. Young and seasoned.
Born in Virginia as a first-generation Chinese-American, Angela experienced a childhood with one foot in the United States and the other in Hong Kong, where she lived for five years, followed by two years in Tokyo.
Her father's international work assignments were "my earliest exposure to the business world," Angela says. "I was surrounded by businesspeople starting at a young age."
Sage Advice for a Career Path
When it was time to return to the United States for college, many of her father's colleagues suggested accounting as a major. It didn't take much convincing for Angela to investigate.
"I didn't know much about accounting specifically, or the importance of financial statements," she says. "But I took a fairly assertive approach to learning about becoming a CPA — going to career fairs, talking to Big 4 firms, and seeking out career services. As early as my freshman year at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I was mapping out credits and requirements to become a CPA."
Angela never looked back. Well, almost."There was a brief period where I considered majoring in psychology instead. Understanding what people are about, the science behind people's behaviors, I enjoyed all of that in a freshman-level class.
"But then my dad sneakily sent me a U.S. News article about the relationship between your college major and your lifetime earnings," she says with laughter.
Goals and Actions Come Together
The rest is history. With her fondness for math and her drive for success, Angela reached 150 credits within four years at UMass, ready to continue her journey toward CPA licensure.
As a freshly minted accounting graduate, Angela jumped right into interviews and networking with accounting firms of all sizes.
"One of my first career memories is the sense of accomplishment I felt after I received several internship offers," she says. "There's a lot of stress and pressure during daylong interviews with multiple firms. But I could proudly say, 'I landed this internship because I put in the work. Now I get to pick what firm I want.'"
Fast forward 10 years: Angela has been vice president and controller of a 39-branch community bank in New York and New Jersey since 2012. She made the jump to business and industry from public accounting after three years as an auditor.
"You're in public accounting for however many years, and of course, the path to partner is the right fit for many CPAs. What I love about the profession is that there are so many other roles. Controllers, CFOs, you name the leadership title; CPAs are part of the collaborative leadership function in any organization."
And her brief foray into psychology has had lasting benefits.
"Getting to know what motivates people is crucial to being an effective leader, because CPAs are constantly working in team environments" says Angela.
"People may think accountants have their heads down, pencil to paper, but it's so far from the truth. You're always interacting with different departments, auditors, senior management and regulators."
Standing Out in a Crowd
Angela is the first to admit that she has been on the receiving end of other assumptions, but not because of her Asian heritage.
"I work in a mature and seasoned work environment. As a younger person in community banking, I want to gain a seat at the table and to be taken seriously. Part of that is being as prepared as possible and making sure my facts are straight for meetings and calls.
"The confidence of knowing your stuff helps you be a better communicator and presenter. That translates to a commanding presence at the table. And colleagues have to take you seriously, as they would someone who has 10 or 20 more years of experience."
When it comes to representing a minority group in the workplace, Angela says, "Be proud of who you are. Be authentic. And don't be afraid to show that. Generally speaking, people are interested in knowing your background.
"It's important to share who you are with people you're around for 40 to 80 hours a week."
Angela, the only Asian-American woman at a VP level within her organization, even started an annual cultural event through the great equalizer: food.
"Every Chinese New Year, we have a gathering of 30 to 40 people to celebrate the holiday and eat Chinese food that represents longevity and prosperity. It's a nice break to learn about another culture, and I'm very happy that people take an interest.
"It's a small gesture, but I think one that's appreciated by other minority groups, as well. We can encourage giving a voice to others and invite them to tell their stories."
Kimberly Drumgo, Director, Diversity & Inclusion, American Institute of CPAs.
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a celebration established in 1992 to recognize the culture, traditions and history of Americans of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry as well as their achievements and contributions.
Did you know?
Creating Environments Where Asian and Pacific Islanders Can Thrive
Within the CPA profession, there are more Asian and Pacific Islanders represented than any other minority group, including Hispanics and African Americans. Also, the numbers overall are increasing. However, the increase is small, and more can to be done to recruit and retain Asian and Pacific Islanders as well as other minority groups. In our firms, we can help promote Asian and Pacific Islanders by:
Darryl Nitta is a CPA of Asian Pacific Islander descent working for Accuity LLP in Honolulu, Hawaii, as principal in charge of C&Y CPAs. Observing his father succeed as a CPA had a direct influence on his decision to go into accounting.
"My dad inspired me to become a CPA," says Nitta. "He is a CPA and has been able to live very comfortably while supporting three children attending private school and college. He always had time to enjoy fishing, golfing, coaching baseball and spending quality time with our family. I think I subconsciously made the connection after college that his work-life balance happiness was attributable to his job as a CPA."
Nitta says accounting has indeed turned out to be a great career—and in fact, the profession has opened many unexpected doors to him already.
"Being a CPA allows me to become involved with the CPA profession at both the state and national level—something I didn't even consider when I first became a CPA," he says.
So far, these leadership opportunities have included:
Regarding his involvement in Council, he says, "I truly enjoyed being a part of a team that is helping to shape the future of our CPA profession."
Asian and Pacific Islanders Have Leadership Potential, but Need Support
For other Asian and Pacific Islanders, though, finding leadership opportunities has proven challenging. Ascend recently found in a study that among five of the largest tech companies, Asian and Asian Americans represent 27 percent of professionals, but only half that among executives. This disparity could be a result of a growing concept referred to as the bamboo ceiling, which is a combination of individual, cultural, and organizational factors that impede the career progress of Asians or Asian Americans.
It isn't because employers perceive Asians or Asian Americans as lacking—in fact, it is because Asian and Pacific Islanders are often stereotyped as high achievers, so others assume they are doing well and don't need mentoring or help. It's true that many in this group are high academic achievers. For example, 21 percent of Asians in the United States, age 25 and older, have an advanced degree (e.g., Master's, Ph.D., M.D. or J.D.). In comparison, just 10 percent of all Americans in that age group have an advanced degree.
However, individual statistics often don't tell the whole story. For instance, people from certain Southeast Asian nations have dealt with recent historical or political challenges and are struggling. Consider the fact that 40 percent of Hmong, 38 percent of Laotian and 35 percent of Cambodian students do not complete high school.
Once in the workplace, Asian and Pacific Islanders also report that they feel set apart. Thirty to 31 percent of Asian and Pacific Islanders surveyed reported incidents of employment discrimination, the largest of any group, according to a Gallup poll.
They often don't voice these complaints publicly. Asian and Pacific Islanders only filed about 2–3 percent of the total employment discrimination complaints received by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against private employers.
Many Asian cultures are very respectful of leadership, this trait may influence individual decisions to publicly voice complaints about their employer. Gaining knowledge about various cultures and understanding culturally-based tendencies is critical to building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce.
This is where the AICPA can help. With free and supportive resources including the AICPA Recruitment and Retention Toolkit used it in conjunction with AICPA Accounting Inclusion Maturity Model, organizations can use this model to assess where they are on their inclusion journey, evaluate their existing diversity and inclusion efforts and develop roadmaps to success.

A conversation with Frank Thomas, keynote speaker at the 2016 AICPA Accounting Scholars Leadership Workshop
On May 18–20, about 100 minority accounting students will assemble in Durham, N.C., for the AICPA Accounting Scholars Leadership Workshop. The annual event draws accounting, finance and tax majors from across the country for an immersion into leadership development, CPA Exam preparation and the infinite benefits of earning the CPA credential.
Frank Thomas, a renowned inspirational speaker, author of RISE: Even Death Can't Stop Me and previously a practicing CPA, is this year's keynote speaker. Insights recently spoke with Thomas about his journey to becoming a CPA, overcoming profound childhood obstacles and observations on the future leaders of the profession.
Insights: What memories stand out to you on your path to becoming a CPA?
Thomas: Becoming a CPA is not the easiest thing in the world. Take the CPA Exam for instance, it's one of the most rigorous exams in the world. It's a difficult exam to prepare for, and it's a difficult career path. I just remember how incredibly challenging it was.
I say that as someone who grew up in a home environment that was not ideal. My brother and I were raised by a single mother who gave her best but faced demons of her own. Drugs, alcohol, you name it. We were forced to raise ourselves. So I always knew it was up to me to face challenges and that I had to work twice as hard to make something of myself.
Becoming a CPA was the road I took.
The memories I'm most fond of have to do with the relationships I made in the process. Once I decided to be an accounting major and pursue the CPA designation, I met such wonderful people from all over the world. Graduating with an accounting degree, going to work for Deloitte, and preparing and passing the CPA Exam — every step of the way, I built such strong and amazing relationships, which is such an integral part of success in life and business.
Insights: Why accounting? What other professions did you consider in school?
Thomas: Before deciding on accounting as a major, I wanted to be a high school guidance counselor. I wanted to work with young people, to inspire them to fulfill their potential and achieve their dreams.
But my best friend, a fellow accounting student at USC [University of Southern California], really challenged me to think about the CPA as a possible career path. The more I learned about the profession, the more I realized the career path opens up so many possibilities.
Accounting is the language of business. There's business in everything. Just about anything you can think of, there's a business behind it. If you can understand the framework of that business, the possibilities are limitless.
Personally, I also saw the prestige of being a CPA. CPAs are held in such high regard. They're professionals who are many times behind the scenes, but their integrity and intelligence are front and center. All those things appealed to me.
Today, I get to have the best of both worlds. Even though I'm now an inspirational speaker and no longer a practicing CPA, the credential continues to open up doors for me. In my career's second act as a consultant, speaker and author, I'm living my dream of working with young people and helping them achieve their dreams.
Maybe it's serendipitous, but somehow we always find our way back home.
Insights: Now that your focus is on inspiring others, what standout characteristics do you see among up-and-coming CPAs?
Thomas: Integrity, ambition, work ethic, not shying away from challenges. Those [qualities] separate great professionals across the board, but it's so true for CPAs. They bring passion, and it shows through in everything they do.
For minority students, in particular, I recognize their heart, soul and spirit. Being a minority myself, I identify with the challenges they face that are beyond the coursework and the profession. There's so much talent, but questions and doubt may loom large. "Am I where I'm supposed to be? Am I fulfilling my potential?" Many of them are trailblazers in their own right who may be first-generation college graduates and professionals. I say to them: Have faith. Stay focused on what's within you. Your path may go up and down, side to side, but you'll find your way.
I encourage CPAs in practice, minority or not, to see how they can be of service to these rising CPAs. Make yourself available for questions, shadowing, mentoring, because the rewards for everyone involved are tremendous.
Insights: What's your favorite part of working with these eager students who represent the profession's future?
Thomas: It's such an honor to reach them when they're just starting out and plant seeds in their hearts and minds that may someday help unlock their potential. Their dreams are so achievable. They just need encouragement, inspiration and support from people who have put themselves in service to ensure that happens. I share my successes, but I make a bigger impact by sharing how I've failed and had to pick myself up and finish my race.
I also share with them how being a CPA has changed my life. It's created opportunities for me that I wouldn't have believed existed before. The challenge is: how do you stick with something that will challenge you beyond your comfort zone? How much pain are you willing to endure to fulfill your destiny? No one has ever achieved anything of great value without enduring some level of struggle.
It's a dream come true to participate in a workshop just for future CPAs. What an opportunity for the profession and for these young people. They'll never forget it. I promise you that.
The AICPA Accounting Scholars Leadership Workshop is an all-expenses-paid event sponsored by the AICPA Foundation. The application window for the 2017 workshop will open in January. For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Welcome to the AICPA's series focused on bringing the perspectives of diverse CPAs to life.
Attitude. Aptitude. Appearance.
If I had to boil down the topics I focus on when I give advice to women in the workplace, the triple-A approach would be it.
Attitude, because people want to be around engaging, charismatic and nice people. Think about talent shows like "American Idol" or "The Voice." Raw talent will get you far, but star power draws people in. The corporate world is the same. It is not enough to only be smart. Plenty of people who are smart have trouble growing their carreers and getting promoted. The difference maker? Confidence. Self-esteem. The ability to speak up and also work as part of a team.
Aptitude, because we are all works in progress and must continually improve and build our respective skill sets. You can't rest on what you did yesterday. Opportunities for leadership and increased responsibilities will arise, and it's important to be prepared. That's how I've earned credibility throughout my career to succeed in challenging roles. Yes, we all have met colleagues who can do minimal preparation for a presentation, and it's an approach that works for them. However, I know that is not me. I would much rather minimize potential issues that could occur—review the material, get feedback if possible, practice, anticipate questions and show up early. Why take any risk? We have the ability to shape our personal brand and earn the confidence of others. When mastery of our craft is clear and demonstrated, we earn respect.
Appearance, because yes, there will always be some people who will make judgments. She's young. She's blonde. She's black. She's…fill in the blank. If you subject yourself to such comparisons, your self-esteem will be shattered, and you will subscribe to the changing opinions of others. By all means, do your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats assessment and be honest. Identify others who will tell you not just what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. However, ultimately, own your truth—your own story and give yourself permission to have a different path based on your own reality.
The triple-A approach has been very helpful in my career, though it has not fully insulated me from uncomfortable situations in my carrer. I simply prefer to be positive and—as I tease with my female colleagues—I don't carry a broom in my purse.
In my former role as a CIO, there were quite a few times when people made assumptions about me. Here I am in the conference room: younger, female and black. Several vendor representatives would seek our business, and would routinely make no eye contact with me. They assumed I worked for my male team members. When it was time for the decision or next steps, my team would say, "Kimberly, what do you think?" I would then say "Hi, I'm Kimberly. I'm the CIO."
In these situations, I could have been offended, defensive or angry, but I just chose not to be. Negative emotions would change me - and not in a positive way. Their thinking says more about them than it does about me.
If I walk in a conference or ballroom, and I'm the only woman or the only woman of color, I look for commonalities and connections of similarities. This approach has helped me develop great relationships wherever I have traveled.
That's not to say that we as women should completely ignore the issues that have occurred and continue to occur. We have to be vigilant about addressing the ongoing challenges faced by working women. More often than not, that means balancing work and family. I've found it invaluable to get ahead of potential conflicts by having a proactive, straightforward conversation with management, i.e., "I can work late on Monday and Wednesday, but I have to be at my son's champion soccer game on Tuesday."
Today, companies and leaders are more understanding than they were 20 years ago, 10 years ago and, yes, even five years ago. Moreover, they are right there on the frontlines with how to help with the integration of work and life, alternative work schedules and even part-time staffing. Many companies and firms have initiatives to attract and keep talented people, both women and men, so that we as a profession are better for it. Some of these initiatives include the various resources and efforts offered by the AICPA's Women's Initiatives Executive Committee.
We are moving in the right direction. The progress is promising, and I am excited by the opportunities that will only get better and better. We should identify the employers who recognize the value of our attitude, aptitude and appearance, as well as the men who are supportive and understand our perspectives. To be pro women's issues is not anti-men. The profession is the strongest when it draws from the best and brightest and there is more than enough room for all of the talents we collectively offer. In the meantime, we can continue to demonstrate our skills and capabilities like trailblazing CPA leaders Christine Ross, Mary T. Washington and Olivia Kirtley. We've come a long way, and we're not done.
Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, CPA, CGMA, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, American Institute of CPAs
Welcome to the first post in a series focused on sharing the perspective of diverse CPAs
Full disclosure: All through my years in school, I was known as a teacher's pet. Some kids may have been discouraged by this status, but it didn't bother me. I had my heart set on a career—at the ripe old age of 8—and that was to become a CPA.
So I went out of my way to surround myself with educators — teachers, principals, librarians — that set high expectations for me and helped get me closer to that goal. Moreover, they returned the favor by setting high expectations for me. There was always a voice in my childhood saying, "This little girl has potential."
Of course, having potential is just the beginning. Moving the needle to accomplishment takes hard work and the right people in your corner, a combination I've wholeheartedly embraced on my path to success.
As we conclude Black History Month, I think back to my formative years and the unwavering support of my parents and their emphasis on education. Not so long ago in U.S. history, severe systemic impediments would have blocked the educational and professional journey of someone like me. Breaking through during that era required no small amount of determination, and I'm in awe of pioneers like John Cromwell Jr., the first African-American CPA, and Mary T. Washington, the first female African-American CPA.
With their legacies in mind, what are my thoughts about the progress we've made in the profession?
For starters, I represent the CPA who grew up in an inner-city, majored in information systems and not accounting (because an accounting major was not offered and I had a full scholarship), studied accounting in community college, and then later earned MBA and M.S. degrees.
John and Mary would appreciate that my career path would be considered unconventional and unexpected — probably similar to theirs. On the other hand, when I meet with minority and underrepresented CPAs across the country, I find that the road less traveled is often a common thread. The key point I stress is this: our paths may have been different than traditional CPAs, but that does not mean we have less knowledge or abilities.
In fact, my detour into information systems turned out to be one of my greatest professional differentiators. At a time when computing began to affect every aspect of daily life, I had an advantage: fluency in the language of the CPA and tech world. Yes, I followed a different career playbook, but it has served me—and the organizations I've worked for—so very well.
Consider if my path had been held against me, simply because it fell outside of what is considered the norm. It's time to reevaluate the perceived notions of what qualifies as conventional and I'm actively engaged in a greater conversation around diversity and inclusion. CPAs are bolder about broaching that topic. I've been very pleased with this awareness in the profession, including the inroads made in the executive suite. Leaders have realized that organizational inclusiveness takes effort.
We can make the next wave of progress with middle management and how they approach recruitment and talent development. Whether true in practice or not, underrepresented minorities have the perception that hiring practices are inconsistent at best. What's driving the view? Perhaps underlying processes or unconscious biases validate the concern. The solution? We must address the environment that perpetuates the perception and taking the time to acknowledge this issue is a great place to start. I ask every company I visit to review their hiring policies to see if standards are consistent throughout the organization. I'm asking you to consider it as well.
I know the AICPA is serious about diversity and inclusion. The board of directors is serious about diversity and inclusion. As more and more CPAs join our efforts, changes should filter into all areas of organizations and the profession overall. That's one of the best ways we can advocate for future talent — so up-and-coming CPAs can see a place for themselves within the profession.
As for continuing my year as vice chairman, I am so excited. I am standing on the shoulders of giants like John and Mary. Forty years ago, this role wouldn't have been a possibility. It's an honor, I am so appreciative, and wherever I am needed, I will make myself available. I'm raising my hand. I hope you'll join me.
Kimberly Ellison-Taylor, CPA, CGMA , Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, American Institute of CPAs.
As 2015 draws to a close, I've been reflecting on the 12-month journey that our society and the accounting profession have made in the area of diversity and inclusion. This has been a banner year for diversity and inclusion in the profession, especially in relation to gender issues. Additionally, there are a number of new opportunities for accountants to capitalize upon as a result of a key diversity and inclusion-related ruling raised by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In July of 2015, KPMG announced Lynne Doughtie as their U.S. Chairman and CEO. In addition, growth in leadership among women within the accounting profession continued. Tommie Barry recently concluded her year as AICPA Chairperson of the Board of Directors. At the same time, the AICPA's governing Council voted Kimberly Ellison Taylor into the Vice-Chair position of the AICPA Board of Directors at its fall meeting. Of even greater note, Kimberly is the first African American voted into such a position within the AICPA.But there remains much work to be done. The data continues to show that the profession lags in representation of both African Americans and Latinos as CPAs and firm partners. While the AICPA and its National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion continue efforts to close the gap, we find that our profession is not alone. This year also highlighted that not only is the accounting profession struggling with equal representation of diverse talent, but so is the technical industry, as indicated by Intel's and Microsoft's multimillion dollar commitments to improve both gender and ethnic diversity within their workforces.
The legalization of same-sex marriage was also a significant focus in 2015, and requires the accounting profession to take notice. Over the summer, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of striking down same-sex marriage bans in 13 states in Obergefell v. Hodges; granting same-sex couples the freedom to marry nationwide. This new ruling will impact how tax laws will be applied more equitably to same-sex couples and presents CPAs with additional service opportunities to advise couples on issues such as healthcare and estate planning.
The more poignant and uncomfortable cases of discrimination on university campuses, protests against law enforcement, and the Paris—and now—U.S. terrorist attacks, makes our understanding and tolerance of others more than a business case for diversity and inclusion. These dynamics in our society increase the importance of doing more than just tolerating difference. They make it imperative that we exist equally in a world of difference.
The final 2015 edition of Inclusion Solutions highlights the most popular articles we've published in 2015. I invite you to peruse the list of articles on best practices and news about diversity in corporate America. I think you'll see how these articles can have an impact on your organization's inclusion journey.

Tribal, Family and Mentor Support Helped Guide Dominic Ortiz to Valuable Opportunities
In November, the AICPA along with the entire nation, celebrates Native American Indian History Month. For Dominic Ortiz, a CPA, CGMA and enrolled tribal member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, the month is about recognizing the contributions that First Nations Peoples have made to the U.S. and sharing tribal culture and traditions. It is also about honoring his heritage by using his experience as a CPA and CGMA to continually give back to the community that has given him so much.
Ortiz credits his tribe, as well as family members and mentors, for supporting, encouraging and guiding him. Ortiz began his academic career at Haskell Indian's Nation University. While there, he became president of the American Indian Business Leaders (AIBL), a nonprofit dedicated to empowering business students.
While he was a student, he met Tom Clevenger, a CPA and professor in Accounting who was working with his tribe as a business consultant. Clevenger and Ortiz's father, a tribally elected member of the tribal council, had become friends."While he was at our house, Professor Clevenger told me how important it was for me to get my CPA," explains Ortiz. "He encouraged me to get a CPA instead of pursuing a Ph.D. in Accounting. He said, 'Nobody will listen unless you get your CPA. It will open countless doors and opportunities to the business world.'"
This meeting proved highly influential, and Clevenger continued to mentor Ortiz. Ortiz eventually transferred to Kansas University, where he could enroll in courses that would give him the opportunity to pursue the CPA credential. He earned a master's degree in Accounting from KU.
Through his involvement with AIBL, he was offered an opportunity to introduce then-President Bill Clinton at an event attended by 50,000, including tribal leaders from across the U.S.
"I was waiting in line to meet the president, and had planned to give him a Native American storyteller bracelet," he explains. "But when it was my turn, I shook his hand, then moved on—but a moment later, I turned around and said, 'Mr. President, I have something for you.'"
When he did, President Clinton pulled Ortiz aside, and to his surprise, he spent the day shadowing the president before doing the introduction.
At the time, Ortiz was interviewing at Ernst & Young and leadership there took note of what had happened. Shortly after, he was offered a position at their Kansas City office.
While the experience at Ernst & Young was invaluable, when asked to return to his tribe to work for them, Ortiz did not hesitate. As CFO for his tribe's casino, he not only offered accounting advice, he also took part in cultural traditions and ceremonies.
In February 2015, he started a new role at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass, Texas, as Assistant General Manager. Ortiz's work is significant and varied, as the casino not only includes a major gaming center, but also a 300-room hotel and 10 restaurants and bars. Prior to this, he worked for his own tribe for 14 years, most recently as CFO of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Entertainment Corporation.
In addition, Ortiz was invited to attend the AICPA's Leadership Academy in October 2011. From 2012-2015, he served a term on the AICPA Governing Council, providing insights on how to reach Native American students. This fall, he will continue this work through his involvement with the AICPA National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion.
Ortiz believes that CPAs have the power to transcend cultural differences and provide insight and guidance to individuals looking to find a career path.
"A CPA reached out to share with me the relevance and importance of becoming a CPA, and this was a turning point for me," he says. "Bringing the best and brightest to our industry can be done by just one conversation with an individual."
Kim Drumgo, MBA, PMP, Director-Diversity & Inclusion, American Institute of CPAs
Two years ago, I was nominated to serve a three-year term on the AICPA's National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion (NCDI). The NCDI was formed to serve as a champion and advisor within the accounting profession, proposing strategies to recruit, retain, and advance underrepresented minorities in the profession. As I look back at my time serving on the NCDI, I am amazed by the progress made in such a short period. However, there is still much work to be done.
My family moved from Puerto Rico to Tacoma, Washington which is where I was born and raised; I always felt most comfortable surrounded by my family. Throughout my journey as a minority student in accounting, I found myself lost without direction in the profession. I did not have anyone to push me to the next level, nor did I realize the value of networking and how it could help guide my career. It was not until I discovered the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA) that my eyes opened to the full potential of my career.ALPFA helped me find something in the profession that was familiar—comfort and family. The community of mentors and Latino professionals in ALPFA have been instrumental in my growth and success in the accounting profession. In 2009, at the age of 33, I became a shareholder at DP&C (formerly Dwyer Pemberton & Coulson).
When I chose to pursue the accounting profession, I did not realize the importance of effective communication skills. I grew up in a Latino and close-knit family environment, where not much was shared outside of the family. I believe the private nature of my upbringing and culture initially made it difficult for me to communicate well with others. However, my cultural perspective did not prevent me from becoming a leader in my firm. I may have a different experience than my colleagues, but if I am provided the tools and given the opportunity to succeed, I will succeed. I now realize that through finding mentors who look like me and share similar experiences, I have become comfortable and confident in my profession. I firmly believe that this confidence comes from my association with ALPFA.
Diversity is often a topic of discussion in the accounting profession and is an important aspect of the work of the AICPA. Additionally, as the nation's population becomes more diverse, our profession must remain relevant and continue to tap into diverse markets. Many accounting firms and organizations struggle with understanding exactly what they should do to improve the recruiting and retention of diverse talent in their organization. We all ask the same questions: Where are the minority students? Are we hiring diversity just to increase the numbers? How can I get more minorities to interview at my firm? Why do minorities tend to leave my organization after a certain number of years?
When asked to serve on the NCDI, I did not hesitate, as I know the value of diversity and inclusion from my personal journey. My work with the NCDI has helped me to understand that diversity is not about hiring or retaining employees for the sake of filling a quota. Diversity is about embracing and understanding everyone's differences. A diverse environment allows ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives to come together to create business value.
The AICPA's Diversity & Inclusion team, in collaboration with the NCDI, has developed valuable resources including Inclusion Solutions newsletter, the Accounting Inclusion Maturity Model and the Recruitment and Retention Toolkit. The resources I mention here, along with AICPA's pipeline initiatives, can help answer questions related to diversity and provide the tools that will further support firm's diversity and inclusion efforts.

I'm currently 2nd too last in a keeper league.
My team isn't built for the future so I thought about offering Ortiz for Longoria and Bruce. He has alot of young talent, but Ortiz would be his best offensive threat.
Also I have Jacobs and Youkilis and can still pickup Giambi if I need.

text: The 2017 Mercedes C-Class Coupe Is Long As HellMatt Hardigree8/13/15 8:31pm16917EditPromoteGo to permalinkI said the Mercedes C300 is the luxury car I'd buy my mother, but I'm guessing she'd prefer the new coupe that Mercedes just revealed. It's long. Like, longer than a Paul Eisenstein question long. This makes me happy.

sweet cool serenity washes over me
as the thunder rolls and everytime
the lightning strikes it brings my soul
to life the rain patters on my window
my long awaited friend i step outside
and im hugged by the long adoring wind
i stare out my window wondering why
im so obbsessed with the downpour of
angels fallen tears and the lightening
strikes purple fear unto the midnight sky
and i hear a wolf harmonize with another
thunders cry the wind whistles on into
the night as the pouring rain erases all frights

La Tour (the tower)
The Tower is located in the historical centre of Bruges in a quarter calm and aired at 8 minutes walking distance from the ' Markt '. His origins go back up to 16th century.
The archives of the city, speak to us of 'one house of pleasance furnished with beauties and agates'
In 18th century, the tower is restructured to give the actual face: a small typical 'Folie ' of this epoch.
For more than 200 years, our family supported this heritage which we are proud to introduce you.
Protected in the heritage of the city of Bruges since 1973, we absolutely restored it in 2009.
It alloys modern conveniences and refined decoration.
On the main floor, there are 1 hall with kitchenette, 1 Louis XV living room with a dining room corner.
On the first floor, there are 1 Louis XVI sleeping room and 1 bathroom and on the second floor is situated the belvedere what offer a 360° view on the towers of Bruges.
'AT HOME' en 'LA TOUR' are situated in the historical town at 8 min walking distance from the 'Markt' (main square).
'AT HOME' is an old house dating from the 19th century renovated with all the modern facilities.
'LA TOUR' (tower) is a 'Folly' from 18 century. It's a protected monument of the city of Bruges. The decoration is a compromise between design and antiques. The gardens created by the owner, who's a landscape architect, are really delightful.

Step back in time
Louise and Francis were charming hosts and we felt like we had stepped back in time for our five days staying here.
Fantastic out of the way location only a ten minute walk to the centre of town.
Only an hour and a quarter drive from the Channel Tunnel and less than an hour's drive from the WW1 Battlefield Sites and Cemeteries at Ypres and Passiondale.
Would highly recommend.
We definitively do a big LIKE...

It was an absolute privilege to stay in this wonderfully restored tower and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to find somewhere totally unique in beautiful Bruges.

Quirky heaven!
We loved every minute of our week's stay in La Tour and Bruges. La Tour is unique and beautifully restored, a restful haven to return to after a day cycling in the countryside, or visiting places of interest (preferably away from the tourist hot spots!). We got used to cooking in a cupboard, and loved it for its quirkiness, the spiral stairs up to the Belvedere at the top where we sat in the evening sunshine. We didn't want to leave to come home and comforted ourselves with the knowledge that we could return!
What FUN!!
Such a unique property in a lovely garden setting, just steps away from the grocery store and the bus. Easy to communicate with the ownerswith clear instructions for entry. This property has been thoughtfully refurbished, providing modern amenities in an antique setting. Appliances worked as intended, WiFi was reliable, and the pictures accurately show this property. We walked to town center or took the bus to access the train station. A side trip to Zebrugge was also fun. Recommend this property for those who appreciate history, but like modern appliances and nice linens.
An absolute gem
We were dead chuffed to have found such a gem of a place to stay during our time in Bruges. La Tour is just beautiful - capacious, thoughtfully restored and very private, it is the perfect Bruges hideaway. Staying there made us feel like we were 'putting one over' all the other tourists in the city! We would have loved a pint of milk and some teabags on arrival, but otherwise can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Louise and Francois.
A great place
We stayed here for 1 week in September, 2013. We loved this place. It's charming, quirky and very spacious. Not only was the bedroom large and roomy, there is a living room, private terrace and the watch tower. We enjoyed watching the sunrises and sunsets from the "belvedere". The owners were very kind and helpful. The apartment was about a 15 minute very charming walk to downtown Bruges. It was also close the bike paths and canals. The owners lard was absolutely gorgeous. It was hard to leave!!
Magical and SO romantic!
We stayed for almost 2 weeks in La Tour for our honeymoon and we loved it!! It is so beautifully decorated and thoughtfully restored, it provided a perfect, cozy little escape.
Everything about it was completely magical.
The perfect combination of historic setting and modern conveniences produce an ideal vacation home.
We really felt like we had slipped into a fairy tale in our 200 year old tower, sipping tea and drawing in the belvedere or having cheese and wine in front of a roaring fire. I LOVED the bathtub!
The place is conveniently located but far enough from all the touristy spots to provide some peace and quiet. There is a private entrance for guests of La Tour, a handy netbook with internet access, wifi, a TV and a cute and fully functional little kitchen nestled in an antique wardrobe.
Francis and Louise were fabulous hosts, totally helpful if we needed them but mostly leaving us on our own. They provided us with a map of the town, made restaurant, shopping and service recommendations and gifted us with a bottle of Cava upon arrival. They were delightful, thoughtful hosts.
We were so sad to leave and can't wait to return for an anniversary. Now my new in-laws want to go stay at La Tour as well. I just can't praise it enough!!

Stripping combs
I need a good set of stribbing combs (fine, medium, coarse) for my horse's tail. Looking online, they are all way overpriced. I'm looking for something similiar to the Coat King brand, but do I have to pay something like 40.00 a comb to get a decent blade?
ideas? no one? Here is the video what I want to do, and the tools the woman uses to do it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73BDlpssKCE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73BDlpssKCE
Noone uses a stripping comb for their horse's tail???
i'm sorry i don't, but why would you want to do that to your horses tail (i prefer full long and thick tails myself)
hmm, what does a pulled tail look like? Like when the horse is moving? As she said, you dont have to use one of those combs, you can just "pull" it, but I would think that would get kind of painful... You could always get a clipper guard and some nice long clippers and go with the gorwth of the hair to shorten it a bit...

Day 3...Dave's 68th birthday
... We changed our clothes in the car because we couldn't be bothered to walk all the way back to the Hotel. It cost us €60 to play 9 holes, you would have thought there would have been a reduction for the inconvenience. We were told the new clubhouse is opening next Easter...well they had better get a move on then! The first tee has a temporary green, all the others are as normal. We both had a lovely time and finished up with a score of ...
Day 2
We finally fell asleep once the loud Englishman was let into his room! He was banging and shouting about 1am. We left the Hotel for breakfast in the old town at Cafe de la Maìrìe. Opposite the Maìrìe. We found a table in the sun. Hot chocolate and a croissant. I used their toilet which was...work in progress...to say the least! We had another walk around the Jardin Evénementiel and took some pretty pictures. It ...
Day 1...Dover to Calais, and Boulogne Sur Mer.
... and we were off to investigate. We learned that Boulogne-sur-Mer is nicknamed 'city of art and history'. The archway took us to the old town, and it's cobbled streets. Practically the first bar we came across was were we stopped for a glass of wine. It was still sunny and warm enough to sit outside. The glass of wine was enormous, the glass was big enough to wash your feet in! I bought myself a pair of oven mitts from the little shop ...
Near Calais
Our last day in France and it rained all day. I thought that was rather apt. We arrived in the rain and we are leaving in the rain. It looks like its really happening and this guy is going to take the van. He is very excited and is travelling down with us to Cornwall tomorrow and then driving the Beast away. We are nearly finished one part of our journey and will have some time with Jane and Anton and a small trip to Greece to look forward ...
Homeward bound
... so hopefully there will be no delays. Nope, no delays, no migrants, nothing! Also a good clear drive back home there were even no queues at the Dartford Tunnel. Back home by 3pm and spent the next 2.5 hours unloading and sorting stuff out. All done, can't wait until next ...
