2013: Traveling To Disney

Our first night was spent at a Days Inn near Carlisle Pennsylvania. I kept waking up all night because the hotel lights shinning through the window made me think the sun was up and the alarm didn't go off! That is what I get for taking the last available room.

To cut costs we like to stay at hotels that provide breakfast. As my wife finishes getting everyone ready for the day, it is my job to assemble a wonderful breakfast assortment to bring back to the room. This is our "room service" style breakfast to relax for a moment before hitting the road.

As I always do, I went to the lobby to grab breakfast for the family. That is when I heard the attendant yell at a guest for trying to leave the lobby with food. What? I had never seen anything like this before and became immediately concerned with how I would get food back to the room.

I casually gathered up the food and took a seat at a table in the corner. When the attendant was busy scolding another guest for leaving with food, I quickly stuffed the breakfast into the deep pockets of my cargo shorts. With bulging pockets swaying at each step, I passed by the attendant as I left. It was so obvious what I was doing, I couldn't understand why she didn't say anything to me!

The family was finally ready to leave (only two hours behind schedule). I got all the luggage loaded back into the van. That is when I noticed my fly had been unzipped the entire time. That might explain why the attendant didn't notice my shorts were full of breakfast! Well, looking forward to a better day!
