Friday, Friday, Friday
It's hard to believe that in a week it will be the last time I sleep in my bed for 3+ weeks. So much to do tonight. Packing, get house ready to show in the morning, birthday party we are going to in the morning... We are still waffeling on what hotel to stay in. Our agency's hotel is the WS and it is where we are supposed to stay. But, our agency has graciously allowed us a varience of being able to stay at the V in order to save money. The WS has twin beds (their actually slightly larger), you pay for internet usage, $139/night, "free" crib in room and breakfast is included. The V is 1/2 th price, has free internet, a king bed and breakfast. We would be responsible for getting from the V to the WS, it's about a 1/2 mi. walk. Is saving $1200+ worth it???? According to a recent traveler it rained every day. Do we want to walk in the rain with Elizabeth EVERY day? Am I being too miserly? Our total airfare came to $2777 flying San Antonio to Guangzhou. So we saved there. Oh, decisions, decisions. We have to finalize our hotel Monday.

In my opinion...although you know your $$ situation better than I do...You are already going to be in a new, unusual place outside of your comfort zone with a new little girl to be focusing on to bond with ....I would forgo the $$ and stay at the WS. Or bring a HUGE umbrella. =D
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input Mikki. It's not a money situation that made us decide the hotel (though it did weigh in some), but internet. The V with it's free internet, which means free skype and updating our blog, won out. The fact that the rooms are nicer and it had better recommendations helped too. We will see if we chose wisely!
