May Journal #3


Write about a memorable experience you have had staying at a hotel.

Anytime you get the chance to travel and stay somewhere it’s a memorable experience. Of course my constant “memorable hotel experience” is when I attend a convention every year in February downtown with a friend. I used to commute over an hour until one day she said, “hey do you want to stay at the Hotel Mac?” I agree (with zero arm twisting) and from then on I was hooked. Even during COVID, when the convention switch to online we still stayed at the hotel and watched everything on our chromebooks. We have started staying on the Gold Floor to enjoy the many amenities that the lounge offers. There is fancy breakfast and snacks, alcohol, we swim in the pool and we take in the incredible views. Ultimately, we pamper ourselves! One of our traditions is to get the salmon lox bagel (until they discontinued it). One time we even got a tour of some of the fanciest suits at the hotel. The concierges are awesome and so helpful. At night my friend and I play the board games we each bring and we have tons of belly laughs. Most recently I stayed at the Hilton in Houston Texas for the Safari Club Show. It was incredible. the best part was the food. We ate at Pappasito’s and Pappadeaux’s and it was just truly lovely to get away with my husband. It was also nice to meet new friends and finally go to Texas after delaying my trip two years. And another “memorable hotel experience” was staying at the The Empress in Victoria, with my best friend; we had High Tea and explored as much of Victoria as we could in three days!

What about you?
