Puttin' on the Ritz

Priceline has a deal where you “name your own price” on hotel rooms. There are a couple catches, one is you do not know which hotel you are choosing and another is you cannot cancel your reservations. If your bid is accepted you get the room automatically without being able to change your mind at the last minute… What a gamble!!! Why not??

So now we are sitting in the Hilton Seatac Airport and Conference Center on our own individual beds and awaiting our check-out time in the morning. This place is pretty fancy for a girl who wears the same shirt twice in a week, out of a rotation of five. All of which I have packed with me…  And as I sit here on my bed that has a “blanket runner” (You know, like the one Grandma used in the middle of the table.. Yeah there is ONE at the end of my bed… Not an actual blanket… Just a runner…) staring at my un-pedicured feet I am certain that I am very much still myself! 

So we took ourselves to 7-11 for bottled water, that did NOT require your first born, two forms of ID and then the two dollars… On our way back we decided it was time for a treat. So now we are sitting in the fancy restaurant that is located inside our hotel. We have ordered Espresso Crème Brule and some sort of Vanilla bean icecream with fruit, and are sipping coffee while blogging together.

I am sure this is going to cost me a days food budget while in Slane, but it is worth it at the moment. I think this trip.. adventure… is going to be a series of moments. This one is filled with chocolate!
