Three weeks ago I blogged about a great customer experience while making a motel reservation. Click Here To Read Last weekend we went to the motel and the experience was not good. Nothing matched our expectations. The motel was below average, the amenities nonexistent and the town small and boring. Great way to start out a fun weekend! So what did we do to ensure that we had a good time? We Moved On.
We had a two night reservation but the next morning we packed the car, went to the front desk, and politely said our plans had changed and we would like to check out. They said sure and asked if there was a problem with the room. We said no, because there was nothing they could change, and paid our bill. We didn’t know if we could find a place to stay for the night, but if nothing else we would drive the five hours back to Orlando and get home at 3 am. We have done that before!
After checking out of the motel, we drove to the next town and had a great breakfast on the river followed by a fun time exploring the town of Apalachicola. We got rid of some excess cash by buying shoes, a souvenir, a birthday present and a Christmas present. Then a short drive to St George’s Island and Grouper Tacos for lunch at a beach front restaurant. (See picture) After lunch we checked out a nearby hotel, the only one on the island. It was a funny place but they had a clean gulf front room with a private balcony. A little more than we had planned on spending so we had dinner (Pizza) and breakfast (Pop Tarts) in.
A great time and we came home with happy memories and a good lesson on happiness - Move On!!
Anything that is eating at your happiness that could be resolved by a decision to Move On? Get Moving!!
Happy Sunday
