Write about a memorable experience you have had
staying at a hotel.
Not including a cruise ship room, I would say
the most memorable hotel room was in Cancun.
With five of us, we traveled on a strict budget. We didn’t stay at a ritzy resort like the Hard
Rock hotels. We did tour it. Someday that would be delightful. No, we stayed in a cheap resort.
When we walked into the room, we knew we would
have to be on our best behavior. The two
beds were single. Uff da. We asked for a rollaway. They brought us a crib. My husband asked if they would look at our
two teenaged boys and our tall ten year old daughter to see which they would
prefer us to put in a crib. They finally
brought in a bigger bed. Now, with the dimension
of the room, we had to push the twins together which gave us a foot between
them and the wall on the left. There
were two feet between the right and the rollaway which hugged the right wall.
We had a three foot path along the far wall to get to the door and tiny
bathroom. Yes, we resembled sardines!
The second to last day of our stay, a water pipe
blew. As we walked to our room, we had
to walk through about two inches of water.
I imagined walking into a complete disaster, luggage, clothes, everything
wet. Water spilled out of our neighbor's
room but ended at their door. We opened
our door, and everything was dry. Crisis
averted.
I do have a confession to make. This was our last vacation as the Richard
five. I loved the togetherness of our
tiny room. We had a delightful time jet
skiing, snorkeling, visiting the ruins, laying on the beach, playing games, and
breaking bread. Someday it would be
delightful to go on another big family vacation. Until then, we enjoy bigger room with just the
three of us.
