Its 17:15 (5.15pm)

Carolin: “I really can’t wait to get in our suite!” she looks so excited, i’m happy she’s finally in a good mood haha

Joy: “I can’t wait to check in and go sightseeing in this beautiful city. I def. wanna get in one of these Gondolas for a ride” I say while i look at those boats.

Carolin: “I’m curious how our suite looks like… I can’t believe your dad gave you this as a birthday present” 

Joy: “yeah it’s so sweet of him. He is very strict but at the same time he is the best dad I can imagine"  I answer with a huge smile from ear to ear on my face.

Joy: “he wants me to work hard for my money and he knows I do. He knows I - we - deserve this” i explain. I love him, he always wants only the best for me!

Carolin: “Damn, a hotel with presidential suite…it’s incredible” Caro is still overwhelmed and trust me, this doesn’t happen very often.

Joy: “But we won’t be that much in our room, don’t you think. We’ll only sleep and refresh ourselves here. Please don’t make such a big issue about that suite” i try to assuage her.

Carolin: “well I’m sorry your highness” she answers.. i can’t read her poker face.

Joy: “what the…?” I ask irritated.

At first i look wondering at Caro but then I realize that I’m the one who acts kinda cranky, I should be more than happy and look forward to our vacation instead of trying to calm her down. 

Joy: “oh I’m sorry, I think it’s the journey what made my mood that bad.”

Carolin: “it’s ok. But only if you promise me to do nothing but smile from now on.”

"next please"

Joy: “I will try.”

We both start laughing.

“NEXT!” Says the lady at the check in desk iritated.

Joy: “the presidential suite, 2 persons for 2 weeks.”

The lady: “ah yes lemme see. Names please and the ticket”

Joy: “Joyce Adams and Carolin Whitley” and i hand her our tickets

The Lady: “ok that’s right. This man will help you to get your stuff into your rooms”

she explains and points at the Cuban looking guy, who presents himself as the bellboy.
She gives me a card for the room and when the bell boy helps us to load the elevator with the suitcases i give him a tip.

Joy: “what floor do we need to go?”

My question was answered quickly as he pushes on the button for the 20th floor.

Joy: “Ouf that’s high”

The bellboy: “that’s where the presidential suites are. Do you know there are just 2 presidential suites, 4 normal suites and 444 normal rooms?”

Carolin: “wow that’s awesome!”

Joy: “damn we are so lucky!” I look at Caro; it seems like she’s at least as excited as me.

After a minute we’re on the 20th floor. The bellboy helps us to unload the elevator with our suitcases and puts them in the hallway. When they all are out of the elevator he disappears again. Before I finally open the door I look Caro in the eyes.

Joy: “are you ready for it?” I ask her.

Carolin: “yes totally, well not really but… oooh just open that freaking door!!”
