Voice on intercom. Possible fire on 2nd floor. We're on 6th.
Open door, Debbie encounters a neighbor, French, says "Danger?!" with thick accent...Debbie responds... "Yes..Take the stairs..." He disappears.
We grab laptops & wallets...hike 6 flights down..everyone is in the lobby...
Apparently a fire? No one knows what's going on...
Thickly French-accented hotel employee says all clear...
FDNY enters from the back of the building... He thinks some one was smoking on the second floor of the adjoining building at the back... everyone begins returning to their rooms..
Another thickly-French-accented employee, she says to wait... more FDNY enter from back...Is everyone French here?
First employee shows FDNY a back room... FDNY exclaims.. "Hey, 'dere is a back-a 'dis building!!" A few FDNYs check it out...
After a few minutes, we're given the all clear.
Debbie heads back to the room...
I go for coffee & bagels around the corner @ Cafe' 28th.
Back at the hotel. Relax.

maybe a fire drill has proven cheaper than the cost of all those wake-up calls they have to give.
oh wait, here's a better one... Even on vacation you still get caught up in fire drills!
I think Ben and Josh and maybe even Derrick are in NY right now.
