August 13th 2015

I am thoroughly disgusted

with the job of finding a hotel now-days.

I have a wedding to go to the last weekend in august.

I need a room with 2 beds

and breakfast (and apparently parking included!)

Location did not matter 

and suites etc were not necessary

as it was only 1 night.

I spent 3 hours on line

looking at the same hotels with different prices

on 2000000 different sites.

Having spent time in hotels

rooms from one hotel to the next are not that different.

I had almost given up for the night

as every time I found one that met my needs

said they were sold out.

Anger prodded me to do what we did 

BEFORE 

we surfed the internet.

I picked up the phone and called the hotel.

That "sold out" package I seen first on line?

He booked me 

in minutes exactly as I wanted.

The hotel is EXACTLY where I wanted to be

actually even better than I expected,

is a name brand hotel,

includes food and a couple unexpected extras.

Yes...

It is a little more than I wanted to spend

but I wish I had done that first

and saved myself the aggravation of 3 hours

of searching and scanning.

My friend Pam came 

and saved my sanity a little earlier tonight. 

I have been stuck in this house for almost 2 weeks now.

I was going stir crazy.

So she took me out to the Dollar store

for a bit of air.

Not long before I had had enough

but long enough to forget what I was there for!

BUT

Captain Superhero was soon back at my house

armed with my missing purchase!

Super Grandma to the rescue!

Good night from John Street.
