The Penthouse

I was talking to a couple of women in Yosemite who were staying in the park in Curry Village, which are canvas platform tents. They were telling me how hot the tents were, with no fan or air conditioning. 

I told them how we had booked late, six months ago, and there were no accommodations available in the park, so we ended up booking a cabin outside the park. 

I laughed that when you book late, you are left with either the basement or the penthouse. This time, we got the penthouse. 

It was a quaint cabin with a full kitchen, king bed in its own bedroom, and a loft with two more queen beds. Pricey, but worth it. 

After our first day in the park, we were all hot and tired from hiking. I was looking forward to a cool shower and then bed. 

We got back to the cabin and had a flood of water all over the floor. 

The water line to the toilet had busted and flooded the first floor. 

Our cozy cabin was inhabitable. . . . and the resort was fully booked. 

Great. 

April, at the front desk, was super. She promised us an upgrade. 

Yup, we got upgraded to the penthouse suite! Three bedroom, three full baths, full kitchen, washer and dryer. 

And our own private pool and hot tub. 

Wow. . . Just wow! 

After a busy, hectic day, when we all were exhausted and the last thing we wanted to do was pack our belongings into the van and move to another room/place, the penthouse was FANTASTIC! 

So, we did nothing on Monday, but laze around the pool and enjoy the place.
