I knew that I would to some extent have a hard time sleeping last night. When I called to book at the Hotel where we are staying, we specifically asked for a smoke free room and floor and to be the farthest away from the smoking floor. When you enter the floor from the elevator, there's a sign that says 'No Smoking - New York State Law'. So I thought, nobody is stupid enough to smoke. Since I've quit smoking for a while now, seems that cigarette smoke gives me headaches and now makes me gag. Not to mention that Geoff is allergic to cigarette smoke so his breathing became a bit shallow at some point. So guess what, the smoke from the neighbour continuously smoked up our room through the vents and I have a migraine and feel extremely nauseated.
We complained several times to 'Guest Services' and for some unknown reason, 'New York State Law' doesn't seem to mean crappola around these parts. In Ontario, I can assure you, they would have sent in the police and have you charged for stinking up their rooms!
Well, I feel a bit stressed because of that, because I don't want to have to deal with this coming back here on Thursday night after surgery and having to smell that 'shit' in my room again. I'm going to need some good sleep! I may have gotten a total of 3 hours last night, so NOT GOOD.
Anyways, I'M leaving very soon. Blow dryer in the stupid bathroom quit, so my hair is still half damp. What a start to a perfect day! :-S
Hope things get much much better.
Cheers
Tell Geoff to check out the Best Western if he needs to. I found the rooms clean, and staff very very helpful. Even had a friend go down booking the room on her daughters credit card. Of course she showed up, no credit card, and they called her daughter and had them fax her a signed consent. They also kept her baggage in a storage area, she was alone, not much sense paying for a room and she was in the hospital. Even us, I stayed the extra day in the hospital, and hubby assumed we could just go home, of course not lol. So he had checked out at 10 a.m.... only to call them back at 11:15 to ask for the room back :) And they said sure, so we stayed one more night. Today will go fine dear, no fears there :) Thinking of you right now.
