It has been awhile and it is time to catch up……..
In May we decide to take a quit break and we headed to New
Orleans. My niece Brittany joined us which is always fun having her on our
adventures. I booked the hotel but Lyndsey planned all the events and adventures which
made it so nice for David and me. We
stayed in the Arts District which was a happy surprise for me. When I booked
the place, I did not realize it was in the Arts District…(honest). We stayed at
the Embassy Suites to get a room with extra sofa bed. This should add to the
comfort and easement of the stay. We
arrived and a bell hop meet us as thou he was expecting us personally. He stayed with us as we were getting our room
keys. He notice we did not have a handicap room. (Rarely do handicap rooms come
with two beds but one and of course we need two beds and the sofa bed so we
figured we would figure it out when we saw how things were laid out.) He told
the desk clerk that we definitely need a handicap room and fix it right away.
WOW, never ever has anything like that happened to us. That someone other than
our group make a point to help with the handicap details. Of course ,we knew
the answer but the effort on his behave made me want to hug the big
African American New Orleans
native. When the clerk replied the only ones available were single beds he insisted a chair for the bathtub be brought a.s.a.p.
to our room. Whoa…..I am in the twilight zone…..We always have to go buy a
chair when we are at a hotel for Dake to
be able to bath even if it was a handicap shower. ( Dake ‘s core strength is so limited he has to have a plastic chair with arms or he will not be able to
hold himself up.) We barely got in the
door of the room and the chair was delivered.
I was still in shock. It was like little fairies were two steps in front of us rolling out the
red carpet. I was ready to take up
residence forever
........Stay tuned more updates on the trip and life to continue soon.......
