Hospitable Ben

We recently had house guests for three nights. In order to accommodate them, we moved Ben into Kyri's bed and put Kyri on the floor in her own room. (If you don't stay in your bed anyway, you can sleep on the floor.)

When I woke up the next morning, I noticed that the "B-E-N" from Ben's bedroom door had been moved and placed under the "K-Y-R-I-E" on Kyri's bedroom door. When I asked them about it, Ben informed me that he wanted our guest to feel that his room was HIS room and so Ben would make Kyri's room his room for the next couple of days.

And the morning he left, I found Ben carefully moving his letters back to his door.

They don't include flights in the cost of the trip. OK so you got me there. It would be impossible for them to do this. There would be people flying from just a few hours away and people flying from across an ocean. www.vakantiehuis-dezilverenmaan.be

They offer as much options as they can for flexibility. So I offer a different way to look at it to lessen the negativity of it. Wouldn't you be open to the idea of adjusting your vacation date's a little, if it means saving hundreds of dollars on your trip? I know I would. Vakantiehuis Limburg
