The Perfect Houseguests??

OK, a few months ago we received an invitation to attend the wedding of one of my closest friends (Cristina) in San Diego.  There was no way we were going to miss this wedding… so the usually planning begun.  Flights were booked, arrangements made, and the hotel search began.  Then one day I got a phone call from my other closest friend (Karen) saying “why don’t you guys just stay at our place?” 

Whaatttt??

Who stays with people anymore? We are not in college… “No thanks, we will just book a hotel.” Yeah, that’s what I said.  Then a few weeks went by and I had a change of heart.  Maybe staying with Karen and Eric would be fun!  Kinda like a big slumber party or camping.

So this is how it went… we made a few simple demands to ensure we would have the best possible experience. 

Here was our list:

1.           500 thread count (or higher) Egyptian linens on our bed. 

2.         Nightly turn-down service at 1800, complete with chocolates on the pillows.

3.         Water bottles at the bedside daily, and replenished as needed

4.         Fresh brewed coffee each morning, prior to sunrise

5.         Airport pick-ups and drop offs

6.         Unlimited wine/ booze for the entire trip

    Now we were literally in San Diego for a mere 36 hours due to a 10 hour flight delay, but this is what we got accomplished:

Friday night cookout by King Eric (he prefers to be called The King) with more friends.

The party continued at a rooftop bar downtown.

    To show our gratitude for all their efforts, we returned home and promptly mailed a care package to our wonderful hosts!  The box was filled with a bunch of crap they probably don’t need and a bean plant with a Thank-You message!! 

Ha Ha.  Who wants us to stay with them next??
