After spending
a day at the cost of Galveston I and Mr J.
returned back to the hotel. It was time to pack the souvenir bottle of Californian
Zinfandel wine in the suitcase and get back to home. I went to hotel reception
in order to check out. However, that became difficult because my credit limit
was already exceeded. How come, I thought? There I was in the middle of Texas solving the problem.
First I thought about making some dishes at the hotel, but it did not feel like a good
choice. Then I called my credit card operator, but they could not fix the
problem. Luckily Mr. J was an experienced business traveller and had his walled
filled with all sorts of credit cards. He was kind enough to pay my hotel bill
and we were ready to get back to home.
After a
couple of sport exercises at home my stomach started to normalize again. I also
got clarity to my credit card problem. The hotel had reserved the cost of one
week stay at the time of check-in and during check-out they were trying to make
another reservation for the same cost. The credit limit of a junior
professional was not high enough for two weeks stay at an expensive hotel.
However, later on I was able to pay my debt to Mr. J. who saved me from making
dishes.

Lessons learnt:
Real
colleagues are also lifetime friends you can always trust.
Reconsider
seriously the risks if you have only one credit card (with low credit limit).
