Well, I think Liz's family received a warm welcome back to the island. Check-in time for their hotel was 3pm. Their flight got in at 6pm, so they headed to the hotel then, and the room wasn't ready. Finally around 8:45pm, as I was getting off work, they were finally let into their room. The hotel offered them a free meal at the restaurant in compensation, and they invited me to dinner. During the meal, the power went out several times, finally going out and staying out. I pulled out the three mini-flashlights I keep in my bookbag (take that, Jing-Ta, it is useful to keep everything with me after all), handed them out, and we went in search of stairs to climb the 14 floors to their room. We couldn't find them, so Liz and I headed off and her parents continued searching for a way up to their room. They called Liz later to let her know they had gotten up to the room, but the power was still off and there was no water either. I offered repeatedly to let them stay with us, but they refused. They did, however, accept two bottles of water to use for brushing teeth, and Liz took a shower here before I took her back. I hope the rest of their vacation can live up to the high standard set for it on the first day.
