"Mr. Hill, I didn't know you were still staying with us."
"I left for the weekend, but I'm back Justin!"
One of those small things in life I really enjoy is when someone remembers my name. I try to do the same whenever possible. The response to being acknowledged as more than whatever job title they hold is generally pretty positive, but sometimes it's overwhelmingly positive.
Shortly after this cheerful welcome I found myself hearing murmurs of an upgrade. Sure enough I was awarded the King Spa Suite, a room not much smaller than my apartment in Chicago.
One bonus of the upgraded room was that it came with a Vista View. While nothing like looking at the Chicago Skyline, it was considerably nicer than last week's view of the road.
Perhaps the main attraction of the King Spa Suite is in the name itself. This awesome shower/tub combination helped all week to slowly ease the pain of an ultra-stiff neck that comes from sleeping on a plane.
As if we weren't already bordering on excessive, the room included a living room with a second 42" HDTV.
Note The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is a Disney show that debuted the year I graduated High School. I've never actually seen the show, but its name has stuck with me for unknown reasons.
I saw this in my google reader and thought it was from a tv blog that I never read anymore. Didn't expect you to reference that.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, though. This is reminding me of the mornings when you walked into TD and shook people's hands.
