They gave us a voucher for a free one-week stay, but it had to be taken in the next twelve months
My wife and I had been saving for our honeymoon for almost fifteen years. I got two weeks off work, and my wife had the kids staying at her parents. We could finally afford the all-inclusive romantic tropical resort honeymoon we had dreamed of. We thought we were going to come back with memories to last a lifetime, which we did. The thing was that it wasn’t the amazing honeymoon pictures and stories that most people tell. It started when we got on the plane, and the HVAC system wasn’t working. There was no fresh air coming from the air vents, and the air conditioning was tepid. When we got off the plane, our complimentary ride was not waiting for us, and we had to take a jitney take us there. The lobby of the resort was hot and humid, and all we wanted to do was go to our room and take a cool shower. Our seaside bungalow was tucked behind palm trees, and we couldn’t see the water, but it was fairly private. It started raining on the third day, and we were evacuated to the main clubhouse, where the air conditioning wasn’t working. We spent the last few days of our trip sleeping on cots in a clubhouse that had no air conditioning, and wishing we had stayed home instead. The resort offered to extend our stay for another week, but we had obligations back home. They gave us a voucher for a free one-week stay, but it had to be taken in the next twelve months. We took the voucher and gave it to her parents as a thank you for keeping the kids.
