We are back from Charleston. We had an amazing weekend away. It rained on Friday but both Saturday and Sunday was really nice and we had a good time.
Less nice was the lack of sleep. We stayed in a hotel a bit outside the downtown area, just a whatever hotel, a place to sleep basically. We went to sleep before 10 pm on Friday because we had been at the airport early in the morning and we wanted to get up early on Saturday to enjoy the better weather plus we had an appointment. At 1am a family that stayed next door to us came “home” and their kid was so LOUD! It sounded like he/she was having really fun so if it was in the middle of the day I would have loved listening to all that laughter but at 1am with paper thin walls, it was not fun! He/she was scream-laughing and like jumping around on all the furniture for maybe half an hour. Eventually the kid seemed to have gone to sleep but then the parents turned on the tv and had it on all night long.
The next night we were both exhausted. What sounded like a whole football team came to their room above us and practiced being a herd of elephants. One person was up elephant’ing at least once an hour all night long. Right before midnight we heard people next door coming back. The kid was quiet but the damn tv was back on all night. And then they had an alarm clock that turned on at 5 am that escalated 5 stages (for about 4-5 minutes) until they turned it off. Then they used the shower for maybe an hour. When you are tired everything sounds so much louder. It was horrible.
I think I slept for maximum five hours all weekend, and I didn’t sleep much the night before we went either (I never do before travel). Guess if we are tired. Yesterday I was a complete zombie. Today is a little bit better but not much. If I don’t get 8 hours of sleep per night, I don’t function that well. Everything I do these days are in slow motion. Posts from our weekend and maybe a video will come up…eventually, haha. Right now I need a nap.
