Day 4

Today was a long frustrating day. We left this morning and got here just fine. It was windy and cold today but we arrived safely in Tybee Island, Georgia. We knew we arrived at our hotel early but we hoped there was a chance at getting our room early. They said it wasn't ready so we left and went to Fort Pulaski. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. We also had a really nice lunch at a fun place called The Crab Shack. We had a great time walking around and seeing it. It's a brick fort and the outside has huge cannon holes all over it. It's really amazing to see and think of what it would have been like so long ago.

We came back to our hotel at about 3pm because the lady at the desk said our room would of course be ready by that. Nope not ready. Now just my opinion but I would send the maids to our room to get it cleaned first. Since we were there waiting. On the paper I had the rooms were promised to be available at 4pm. 4 came. 5 came. Frustration totally sit in. We went to look at another hotel and it wasn't near as nice as where we already had picked out. Back to waiting. The lady finally gave us 15% off cause of all the trouble. Just before 6pm one of the maids came in. Our room was ready. A long time ago even. The computer wasn't showing it as available yet. Grrrr. So we got everything moved in. Went to eat at the restaurant at our hotel and settled in for the night.

Oh I forgot to mention the party going on by our hotel. There was a huge college party over the weekend. We even heard on the news that 24 people was arrested. We heard there were several colleges that basically take over the whole area. They were still hanging out in the public area. We witnessed several people call over to the front desk and complain. 2 people checked out even. Finally the police were called to the area. The good thing is by the time we got our room it had really settled down. Now hopefully they won't be back this week haha. *breath breath* Tomorrow will be a new day.

Tomorrow is another day! I'm really enjoying reading about your travels and following your map. You sound like you're having fun despite the little setbacks today.

So frustrating when the room isn't ready! I would've cleaned the room first, too - it's not like the maids aren't already there. You're getting closer to Disney every day!
