indigo_rose99My hotel room smells. It always hits me when I enter the room. Not like dead things, but... not a good smell. Bleh. Today it smelled like cigarettes, I'm not sure why. Non smoking room, non smoking floor.
In the extra things I was able to pack for this trip, I brought a candle. Yes, I have encountered this problem before.
But now my problem is lighting it. I don't have two sticks or flint... And of course I could not bring matches or a lighter. *sigh* Stupid airlines.
I called the concierge. MuchChinese. "Do you speak English?"
"No."
"Could you give me someone who does?"
MutteredChinese.
A new voice spoke, "May I help you?" in a perfect American accent. I almost cried. I explained my request -- I want to light my candle -- and he said, "I will send up a lighter."
YES! Sometimes it is the small things.

I know how you feel, but I don't think Maryland is that different of a country, although it feels like it :) I'll be blogging about my travel fun tonight. I'm glad you were able to get a candle. *hug*
