What Money Cannot Buy

An agent tells me...
I have a classic arguing couple on the phone, he is talking to me and she is interjecting in the background. We are looking at upscale hotels on an island in the Caribbean and he is not holding back and the prices are way up there. We are both on the website looking at the features and the pictures together.

"Does it have this, does it have that" she keeps asking.

"Yes, yes and yes" he says. But no matter what hotel we settle on it's always something. After a while he is getting impatient (with good reason). Every time this gentleman and I settle on a property she chimes in with "Maybe the food isn't that good", "maybe it's not safe". Something.

Finally, we are about to book and there she goes again... She didn't even finish her sentence this time and he just says "Sorry, I'll have to call you later" and just hung up!

Just goes to show that money does not buy happiness. This poor guy can afford many nights at these top properties and this crazy woman can't find any 4 or 5 star hotels she can get excited about going to!

BEWARE of the arguing couple. They come in many different forms, but usually hang up arguing rather than booking.

Amen to that.
