Ha! I'd forgotten you were going to San Antonio (vs. a different location). I was just there in September for a conference! You have to check out the riverwalk if you're anywhere near it... beautiful old historic trees lining the river, with restaurants and shopping on either side. Charming, really. Didn't get to see much of the rest of the city. I was at the Hyatt, Riverwalk - Alamo was across the street... Cleaning staff, bus boys, room service and anyone touching your luggage at any point also appericate tips. If they can't spell it, they don't get one; sorry, that's my policy...
That was indeed very considerate of you! I am a bad tipper. Or very good...depending on which end you're on. I never know how much to tip so I usually WAAAY over tip.
V and Michele A. had a similar experience in Door County once, on a horseback riding trail, I believe. They too offered a tip, after a chuckle at the sign that read:
Tour GIUDES Like tips! He was a great guide, and spelling wasn't his forte.
I got really appericated once; I woke up about 10 AM, in the bathtub of some strange house in the suburbs. I walked out into the living room and everyone was just sitting there quietly; I think they were just happy that I woke up and left...
'vkdzyzdc' was my word vericafation; It's a good thing I'm not appericated.

Um, Swampy...you're going to have to blog that.
The funny part was when I got in my car, looked in the mirror and realized I'd had a bloody nose; it was actually broken from stair-diving.
kj, you beat me to it!
Sorry Ed. I was surprised V didn't mention it in her entry...so I took the liberty.
Swampy--what in the world?!
