So for those of you who don’t know, during our stay at Luxor, we have been using my dad’s Sheraton platinum status and staying in hotels redeemed from his points. Here, we were upgraded to a suite that had a massive terrace and 3 rooms! At first Nic felt very uncomfortable with the extra attention.
“I feel like everyone thinks we’re rich and we’re not! I don’t like this!”
Ladies and gentlemen, it took approximately 3 days for him to change his mind. He’s been up in our “lounge” that we share with the 2 other suites stuffing himself with samosas and chicken. And drinking. He just called the lobby to page me and tell me that “I’ve got to come try this!” The hotel manager made a visit up to the lounge to meet the platinum member at his hotel.
Manager: “Oh sir! You are a platinum spg member?”
Nic: (Who doesn’t know what spg or starwood points is) Yeah! *Smiles. *Drinks more.
Manager: “Mr. Foreman, it’s so great to have you at our hotel. How was your stay?”
Nic: “Awesome!”
Nic has just joined the proletariate in the lobby and he’s telling me he really hopes our hotel in Cairo has a private lounge. :)
