Here we go get ready for a long one; thanks in advance for taking the time people to read this, let me know how you would have reacted in the same situation.
Drove straight thru to Fl from Jersy no problemo but 12 hours straight.
Tired, needing a shower bad, Ha. I can laugh about it now but then whew.
2:00 pm finally find the hotel brand new one, street don't even show up on the gps, Carib resorts, 3 bedroom condo with 2 baths, full kitchen and full dining room, laundry room the works. Cheap too ( 125 ) a night, no maid service till you leave, and they charge you 35 bucks for it.
They lady at the desk says 4:00 check in. What the @#$% !
I say common place is deserted we're there a day earlier than most, she says they are booked full, not one car in the parking lots, i swear.
I figure ok wife goes to the bathroom with the kids and i'm pleading, begging and trying to bribe the girl with money, no can do, she says, so i call Hotels kingdom .com where i booked the room thru. 5 minutes latter got the room key.
Get in the room, wife takes off with 2 of the kids, to the supermarket, and i'm posting on iboats, and trying to relax for a few minutes, before taking a well deserved nap.
Just me and my younger son who is in the one bedroom is in the suite with me facing the door in a armchair with the laptop on the coffee table hooked to the earthernet wire.
Just one minute after my wife leaves with the van, i waved at her from the enclosed screen in balcony. I swear the guy must have watched her leave thinking it's his chance to see what he can grab out of the room, anyway thats whats in my mind.
He sees me and says excuse me, and backs out the door.I said no problem.
2 minutes latter another guy rings the doorbell, at least he did, and i open the door, he says oh didn't know anyones in the room, so i say at least you rang the bell, who was the other guy that just comes in and doesn't knock or anything.
He says i don't know, duh, scratch's his head, i said everything is good what you need, gotta check the light bulbs if they work he says.
Ok already i said everything is good, tell your boss that anyone else comes in this room without knocking might get a rude awaking.
I don't know posted one other thing on iboats, lay down, one second, i'm dead asleep.
The phone rings, my 13 year old son wakes me up someone is yelling at him on the phone and he can't understand him, Spanish accent.
I take the phone groggy, i said calm down who is this why you yelling at my son.
I thought something happen too my wife, but the cell phone is on the night table it didn't ring my other son has a cell phone and my 13 year old has his.
Why the hotel phone, he say's slower and calmer you the one or the other guy that was on the phone telling my people not to walk in the room something will happen to them?
I said someone walked in the room without knocking whats up with that ?
That how you train your people and by the way who are you ?
And why you yelling at a 13 year old boy on the phone who taught you manners and how to talk to people.
The second guy at least rang the door bell, he's a gentleman.
And yes some one walks into this room again without knocking, better have their insurance paid up cause they are gonna need it.
End of discussion, period. Understand, i said do you understand cause i want to hear the words come out of your mouth so there is no misunderstanding latter, that you didn't understand my meaning.
He said i understand, good matter closed, happy holiday, falise navade.
I fall asleep again in a heartbeat, i swear don't remember hitting the pillow, my son is shaking me awake again saying there is a lady on the phone wants to talk to me.
I take the phone she says shes the manager of the cleaning dept. and says the manger of the maintaince dept. just got off the phone with her and she takes it serious that someone walked in without knocking.
I said the matter is closed, there should not be anyone walking in the room except, in a national disaster, and that we paid for the room to be cleaned at the end of the stay. When we are not there any more, and checked out, she can have a marching band come into the room if she wants, have a happy holiday good day.
Now i can't get back to sleep cause the missus get back with the other 2 kids, and the food, that we didn't even cook up like eggs and such, till we hit my mothers.
Tell her what happened maybe i didn't react the right way, shes not shy, she tells me off everyday.
She says no way, nobody should be just walking in, what if she was buck naked prancing around the room. I said heres a 100 i'd pay to see that, but not some a#$hole off the street.
She said agreed did i get any sleep ?
Who can sleep around here with everybody and the mayor walking in like their related to me or something.
My son was a little shakin up, he's touchy and his feelings gets hurt easy not like the older boy.
Told you'all was a long one.
Well i leave it to you good people, what would you say and do.
