June 08, 2005Hotel Fun - Part IIHotels have Thin Walls - Part II Well it happened again! It seems as if I have no luck when it comes to picking hotels. After my family and I returned from dinner (we couldn't deal with the Sizzler for a second night so we found a Chinese restaurant), we gave the kids a bath and got them ready for bed. I anticipated us all turning in early because everybody seemed tired out from a long day. My kids spent the entire day in the hotel pool and my wife spent the whole chasing my daughters around the hotel pool. I didn't have a particularly hard day but I was exhausted from not getting any sleep the night before due to the fireworks in the adjacent room. We put the kids down and I finished watching the end of a program on the Discover Channel called "Deadly Catch" which was about the dangers surrounding the crabbing season. Not being interested in the show, my wife quickly went to sleep, which left me amazed by the fact that these guys make over $100,000 in a few weeks. Any way, about 30 minutes before the show ended, I heard the hotel door close at the room next to me. Next, I heard the TV go on and the volume was turned all the way up. This by itself was enough to annoy the hell out of me, but of course it didn't stop there. If you read my entry from yesterday (Hotel Fun), I think you know what happened next. The squeaking started out slowly; I guess you could say almost gently. I jokingly thought to myself that they might be taking it easy tonight. I was wrong. After a few minutes the pace picked up until I heard banging on the hotel wall. Just like the night before, the quick pace was accompanied by moans, or should I say acts of encouragement. I looked over at my wife and to my disbelief she was sleeping which meant she would again miss the show. The banging continued for a few more minutes until they ran out of gas. The couple must have had a long day because the hotel show didn't last quite as long and there wasn't a second act so I wasn't nearly as impressed as the night before. The moaning and groaning was over but they forgot to turn off the TV. This kept me up for about another 15 minutes until I finally fell asleep. I guess I must have been tired because I didn't wake up until this morning, I didn't even hear my daughter who apparently got up around 3:00 am. My wife will be checking out of the hotel today as our townhouse has been deemed safe again after the fumigation. My only question is what will I do tonight without the moaning?
