THE MAN IN THE OXFORD HOTEL

Posted by Stacy on Monday, November 24, 2008 8:53 AM

A recent trip abroad, proved to be quite the adventure. I was going to visit a friend in Oxford and I was supposed to stay with her, but at the last minute her roommate decided to stay in town and wasn't feeling well. This left me in kind of a bind because I had not made any Oxford accommodation and was kind of sweating out the idea of trying to find myself an Oxford hotel. Fortunately, my friend did tell me early enough that I could do an internet search for hotels in Oxford and after several tries I finally found a hotel to stay at for the week. Unfortunately, this would make my trip a little tight as I hadn't really accounted for spending all this additional money for a hotel stay. I only brought some spending money and that was it. I had to make a draw off my bank card, which cost me quite a bit in fees, which I wasn't really aware was going to happen.

Anyway I had a blast in Oxford and the hotel I stayed in was amazing. The room was actually a suite and had one of those hot tub baths which I think I took one every night. Also, there was this really hot guy who was staying in the room right across from mine and one night when we both arrived back at the hotel at the same time, we went out and had a few drinks. It was an awesome week, well honestly, only until I arrived home to find three letters from my bank about the fact that my account was overdrawn. I panicked and called the bank only to find out that my account was overdrawn about $500 and I didn't have any cash, so I had to call my parents and ask them to wire me some money. I was then able to bring my account back to a positive figure and get the whole thing ironed out with the bank. Well, I am glad that I had my parents to help me out. And I think that I will be able to pay them back in a few weeks, but it was definitely worth it for the time I spent in Oxford, it was amazing!!
