Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you expect them to. We arrived in Warner Robins yesterday expecting to move into our apartment. Well, that didn’t happen and we ended up in a hotel instead. There was a miscommunication and the apartment we reserved wouldn’t be ready until Monday. However, it has turned out to be a pretty good time and the kids are enjoying it a bunch.

To find a hotel, we took advantage of Priceline.com to find a good rate. If you have never used Priceline, I would recommend it. We got a room at Jameson Inn for $38 a night! While it is only a 2+ star hotel, it is also one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff is excellent and friendly and they have everything we could have needed from a hotel, short of a kitchenette. We have a microwave, a fridge, complimentary wireless Internet, expanded continental breakfast, swimming pool and exercise room. The hotel is beautiful. Honestly, I have been in some great hotels in many cities around Canada and the US and it turns out that most every room in every hotel is the same except for the fact that some of them have certain features. But essentially, each is about the same. In my experience, when it comes to the things that count, Jameson Inn has what we need.

After a swim yesterday, we got ready for bed and watched a bit of television (had not seen any for a week). When we woke this morning, we had a great breakfast and then got ready to go to church. We found the only Roman Catholic Church in Warner Robins. Sacred Heart Catholic Church is a newer, big, beautiful church. Everyone we met was very friendly. In fact, we may even sign the kids up to play soccer.

After church we went swimming because it was getting pretty warm already. Then we walked across the street to check out the stores and find out some information about getting a new cell phone. From there we went out to get some groceries for dinner and then some more swimming.

The day is essentially done now and we just have to get ready. Will update again once we are in the apartment.

Take care.
