Scratchpad

Saturday, 26 November 2022

I woke up extra early, around 5:30 a.m., after going to bed early. So I ought to make it downstairs in time for breakfast this morning. It's nearly 7:45 now, so I'd better get dressed and do that soon. Then I'll wait for David to let me know when to head over to Lake Mary. It takes over an hour to get there, and I want to make it before Alessia needs her nap, so maybe it will be before lunchtime.

Yesterday I called the front desk and asked to have the room "refreshed", so that ought to happen today, hopefully while I'm out. When I complained to the family about this hotel's policy of only providing housekeeping after 3 nights, and then only if requested, I was told all hotels seem to be doing that these days, taking advantage of the pandemic. But of course they don't adjust their rates to compensate. Grrrr. Next time I travel, I told them, I'll simply bring my own accomodations, and while I'll have to clean up after myself, at least I won't have to pay a premium for the privilege. At any rate, I won't stay at this hotel again unless they redecorate. It's stupid in this day and age to not provide available electrical outlets. You'd think it was 1980 or something. Oh, well, at least it's clean and the AC works.
