Moving from reservation to reservation
With our reservation up, Bunny and I bid our adieu to The Sunset Motel [1].
[Good bye 1950s retro stylings (and plumbing)!] [2]
The only real complaint we had about the place was the plumbing—straight out
of the 50s. The inflow of water during our showers did not match the outflow
of water down the drain, so we were continuously up to our ankles in water.
Also, there was a fine line (about 2mm) between “boiling alive” and “flash
frozen.” And the less said about the toilet, the better.
The other complaint we had (and I'll admit this is totally a First-World
21^st Century problem) was the rather lackluster wi-fi access point (more
like a yo-yo [3] wi-fi access point). Most of the time I used the “Personal
Hotspot” function of my iPhone due to the poor performance of the wi-fi (and
managed to burn through half our “Trust Us! One gigabyte is more than you
need” data plan in a few days—damn you overly large webpages!—but I admit,
I'm a special case here).
But with our reservation sunsetting on The Sunset Motel, there was a
reservation rising at The Red House Inn [4].
[Hello 1850s retro stylings with modern 21st Century networking and
plumbing!] [5]
Again, due to recurrent procrastination, I couldn't reserve the room we
wanted [6], but that's not to say the room we got was bad. It's not.
[While not as big as our last room, it's plenty big, and just as nice.] [7]
And like the previous room, the bathroom has a shower with dual-shower heads.
[You have no idea how insanely decadent and luxurious it is to have dual
shower heads going at the same time. Sinful, I say! Sinful! And that won't
stop me from doing it on vacation.] [8]
Now I'm wondering if all the rooms here at The Red House Inn have dual-shower
heads.
Also in the room is a beautiful writing desk that I've taken over.
[Eat your hearts out, you steampunk-wannabes!] [9]
And so far, the wi-fi access here has been fantastic (no First-World 21^st
Century problems here)!
