The Vacation
What was meant to be a vacation for a couple to the Adirondack Mountains to view their friends' day of matrimony, turned into urine soaked mess.
Mike and Matraca are like any red blooded American couple. Both have good jobs, they share two beautiful dogs, and a home in the Michigan suburbs. When they received their invite to the prestigious wedding of Maura and Missy, there was no doubt of their attendance. But planning the logistics of a trip form the lake enclosed land of Michigan to the mountainous landscapes of upper New York was no easy feat.
"I gave him two AirBNB options and [Mike] chose this hotel" said a shaken Matraca.
"It was the cheapest option. Sure the reviews were crap but the price was too good to pass up" said Mike while winking and shooting finger guns.
The couple decided to make a vacation of this trip, taking some time off before the wedding to hike and visit Niagara Falls. Their time together seemed magical leading up to their Friday check-in at at hotel that will not be named in Lake Placid.
"When we pulled up to the hotel, I knew instantly this was going to be bad" recounted Matraca before sipping her mango Whiteclaw.
Check-in at the desk was the best part of this experience for them. Once they got to their room with two queen beds they noticed grime, dead bugs, and the general sense of murder. Matraca was ready to cut and run but like the brave soul she is stayed. Mike was already prepared for the worst and ready to take on the challenge of finding peace in this hell hole. Night came, the stars shining in the sky looking down on the city of Lake Placid, NY.
With a belly full of double-fisted ice cream, the couple prepares to sleep. Matraca, tense as the trees that coat the mountains, was about to find her slumber. Mike, ready to get what sleep he could, gets ready to lay in the bed only to find moisture where moisture should not be.
"I found a wet spot. I did what any sensible person would do and I sniffed it. It was pee. For sure urine on the bed and it was not mine. I knew what I had to do." Mike then awoke his wife and with no explanation said "We need to move to the other bed." They retreated from urine soaked queen sized bed to the other and prayed that this one was clean enough to stay in.
"I am just thankful there was another bed. Otherwise Mike would have to sleep in another person's pee and we are not into that sort of thing."
The couple spent two anxious nights in this hotel. The result is that Mike is no longer allowed to decide on lodging accommodations from this point forward.
The bed wetter is still at large.
