In my family, the organ music at noon (when As The World Turns started) meant only one thing -- NAP TIME FOR THE KIDS so Mama Oma could "listen to her story."
My GREAT-GRANDMOTHER listened to radio soap operas for many years, and she kept the tradition going once her "stories" moved to television.
Because of the luxury king bedding, with plush pillows and a fluffy down-alternative comforter, guests in As The World Turns all agree that it is the best night's sleep they ever had.
There are custom features throughout Blackstone Hotsprings -- original artwork, handmade doors (from old-growth lumber salvaged from other parts of the building).
People come to Blackstone Hotsprings for the Baths and Beds. Your room has a large custom tub that fills with water from the hot spring for unlimited private soaking.
The soaking tub in As The World Turns is the largest in-room tub at Blackstone Hotsprings. The geothermal water fills the tub through a beautiful stone waterfall.
There is also a fridge, microwave and coffee bar (stocked with our custom house blend coffee -- a rich dark roast).
As The World Turns has a flat panel TV with Hi Definition DirecTV, including HBO, Showtime, XM Satellite Radio, and free wireless internet. Our West Wing rooms all have semi-private patios.
I remember how strange it sounded to me (growing up in the 1960s and 70s) to hear my GREAT-grandmother talk about a "program" that she wanted to "listen" to. In those days, the hip phrase would have been to "watch a show" (meaning black & white TV with rabbit ears).
Now (2008) my grandmother has upgraded to Tivo ... it is her new best friend, because she can watch her stories in half of the time. She didn't have much use for the Tivo buttons until she realized that she could use them to skip the commercials!
When I told my grandmother that we were building an As The World Turns room in honor of her and her mother, she brought me a piece of petrified wood from her yard. It is now built into the waterfall in our biggest and most beautiful tub yet!
