In Perugia for a few days, a beautiful hill town of Umbria, we checked into a small B & B. My heart sank when we walked up the creaky stairs, and I felt like I was stranded in the kids room of a stranger’s house. When I tried to flush the toilet, the handle broke. In a flash, I realized I’ve moved beyond the B & B phase of my life and had to get out of there. Yes, it was a “princess” move. But luckily there was a picturesque hotel right next door, and since it was 11:00 pm, the sweet man at Reception gave me a great rate for the best room in the place. This photo is the view from my private terrace.
Hahaha! Good for you! I think it is a sign of where we are in our lives. We just don’t have to settle for the craptacular stuff we used to accept, and now have a very clear idea of what makes us happy – a better room with an even better view.
Cheers!
Yes, good for you. That’s no “hissy fit.” That’s a mature woman making a smart choice to take care of her legitimate needs.
