Ppppp...hhhh...eeee.....wwww.....

That is one big sigh of relief. Finally the group is gone. I've had my 2 days off to recuperate and refresh....

Must say though, that there is always a blessing lurking somewhere where you cannot see, cannot expect and cannot fathom how on earth could that have happened.

I really have to thank God for being everything and so much more to me.

I expected a lot more trouble from this group. Yes, they are disorganised and they gave me a huge headache. But at least they didn't complain in other areas. Like the rooms...thought maybe they would complain and give troubles abt putting some of them in king-sized beds cos twin beds were not enough. No complaints at all. Thought they might complain abt the location of the rooms, no complaints at all. And despite warnings about I****ns being very picky people when it comes to money matters....yes, this guy gave me a nosebleed when we were first negotiating the price, but at the end when he has to pay the bill, he just signed everything. Of course I had the book in order cos I thought he might be VERY picky abt the bill, but he just took a look at it, and if he used it he will pay. no more bargaining. Wow. Thank God.

And best of all, they were all so sweet upon check-out. Said they would love to come back, sorry for all the troubles etc...and then I got the biggest tip I could ever imagine. I got USD 400 from this guy....he gave the entire team USD 1600 but he said to split it 4 ways, my banquet manager gets one portion, i get one, the rest split as deem fit. Wow...but I know hotel policy. All tips must be shared. But still....I know money isn't everything but the compliments it can bring!! Now I feel justified. :)
