I've stayed in really nice hotels and I've stayed in Martinez several times now while in Cannes. I am blessed and I am thankful.
Today, after traveling for 18hrs, I was asked to wait for an hour because the hotel room was not ready. And when the room was ready, I asked front desk for my luggage. I was brought to a store room, and I was asked to look for my own luggage! There were like 5000 bags in the room (OK I am exaggerating!! but still!!) and I have to look for mine, on my own! The staff just left me there.
Are you kidding me? ??!!!
That will NEVER happen in Asia. And it wouldn't cost so much per night either.
And my biggest pet peeves - No kettle in the room! urgh.

Guilt @ Play!
Every year I do this annual pilgrimage to Cannes. And every year I feel guilty for leaving my kids behind. In fact I feel guilty when I go on long work trips. Period.
Leading up to the travel day, I declare myself supermom - because I want to do everything and anything for my kids and hubby. I would iron and hang up their uniform - Monday to Friday, make sure the fridge and pantry are all stored up with food and snack; rush at work to leave office at a certain time to rush and fetch the kids. And then rush again to play with them and pack my stuff. Half the time, I don't remember what goes into the luggage and start to fret about this and then. It is exhausting! And I have been doing this for the past 7 years, well since I have kids.
I know I am over compensating and while I may sound like I am complaining, most of the times after going through that moment, I ask myself, why did I do that for? Hubby has said it over and over again, they'll be fine and can manage.
Why can't I just take it as that and learn to relax?
