After 145 Days in a row, we are set to depart the East Coast for the Bay Area tomorrow for a two week stay with All of our kids who now live there. This marks are 11th year, and best year $$ wise ever. The other day Poppa grumpily mentioned the possibility of an October Surprise. Me, no just a few more rooms to check in/check out. Well, I shouda heeded his warning. We had two rooms who assaulted us with all kinds of requests for discounts via multiple phone calls for this past Sunday. First, one of the rooms which was originally going to be a single arrived with a second person, who required Dairy and Gluten Free. Which we happily accommodated, even though they were unexpected. Then on Monday morning, both groups asked if they could leave their cars parked here after checkout while they walked around town. Which we agreed to. Then one of the singular "gentlemen" asked if he could stay here after checkout whilst the others walked. OK, no problem.... until Poppa and I heard someone an hour later while we were cleaning rooms on the second floor, shouting. Poppa went downstairs and discovered him in our personal space (he'd opened the closed door that says PRIVATE) which includes access to our kitchen and office, asking if we minded if he used our personal bathroom. Which, Poppa said OK, but not really. Hence, we have been bombarded by emails by both couples who happen to be lawyers, who declare us totally inhospitable. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.
