Earlier this week, I discovered that one of my friends – with whom I am incredibly connected via social media but am not fortunate enough to see often in RL (Real Life) – and I would be staying at the same hotel in Florida.
Except that we would miss each other’s trip by a single day.
Argh.
I checked into the hotel tonight. She checked out yesterday.
Yet … when I arrived, the desk attendant said that there was a package waiting for me. Huh?
My kind friend had left a gift and note, waiting for my arrival!
Seriously, how awesome is that?
I think I am going to adopt this idea for when I know a friend or loved one has a special trip coming up. It’s not hard to get something sent to a hotel ahead of time; it just takes some forethought and organization.
And the payoff is so worth it! I can’t tell you how excited I was by this happy surprise.
A million thanks to you, L!
