We had a lovely weekend, on our mini vacation.
I have never, ever been offered a free upgrade before; I guess arriving at a hotel with a heavily pregnant lady helps. We got there and checked in, and Alise went off to use the bathroom. While she was absent the gentleman at reception asked us where we were from and where we were going.
'About 15 minutes away, and nowhere' was my response.
I told him that we were just staying at the hotel to relax and get away from doing housework for a night, while staying close to the hospital just in case the boy decided to check out.
'Congratulations!' the young man said. 'Allow me to give you a complimentary upgrade to a room with a harbor view'
'How lovely!' I replied. 'I'll get to see where you dumped our tea!'
I actually didn't say that. I didn't even think to say that at any time during the weekend. Lost opportunities.
Anyway though! We took a walk on a cold beach, we swam in the small but empty pool, we dined happily and we watched the history channel on the tv. Like I always do in hotels. Fun! We really did escape, even if just for a few hours.
