My honeymoon was ruined without air conditioning.

I had been looking forward to my honeymoon for almost two years. When my husband and I got married, we decided to put off the honeymoon and save some money. We wanted to have the honeymoon we dreamed of, and go to the Bahamas. They advertised these luxury all inclusive hotels that you paid for nothing but the room. Of course the room we wanted had its own grotto, and a private chef. At the rate of $3500 a night, the chef should feed us too, but it was what we wanted. Six days and six nights of pampering. We had the tickets booked for our round trip flight, and a private car ready to take us to and pick us up at the airport. We had sight seeing tours set up and we were ready to go. When we got to the island, I was enthralled with the area. I wished we could afford to live there, but the hotel was almost the cost of a downpayment on the home. Two nights in, there was a tropical storm that took out the power on the island. Like most hotels, the emergency lighting did not include air conditioning. We were sweating without air conditioning, and the ocean was too choppy to swim. We spent some time in the grotto, but that didn’t stop us from needing air conditioning at night. I asked what it would cost if we were to leave early. They refunded our money and gave us a rain check for the following year, in any room we wanted. The allowed us to stay until we could get a flight back home.
