so we got to san francisco around 4:30 pm on new year’s eve day. we went to check into our hotel (hotel nikko) and the nice lady at the front desk said, “it’s a full house tonight, your room is not quite ready. unless you want a smoking room?” um, no. everything in there is stinky with stale cigarette smell. i just told her that my asthma would act up*. apparently, they have some sort of machine* that they use to “purify” the room when non-smokers stay there, but i was taking no chances.
so since our room wasn’t quite ready, we went to have something to eat across the street. when we returned, there was quite a line of people waiting to check in*. 20 minutes later, we had our keys and were headed up to our room, on one of the “nikko floors“, which require a key to access.
we called stkyrice and aiyahh and decided to meet up around 10 pm for our new year’s celebration. that gave us time to explore a little before we had to get ready, so we went to the nikko lounge, surfed a little, joz blogged and then we grabbed some water* and went back to the room.
jozjozjoz decided to take a shower and had just gotten out of the bathroom when we heard someone trying to unlock the door to our room. whoever it was was jiggling the handle, sliding the card in and out, but was unable to get in. we figured they either had the wrong room or the wrong floor, and when they went away, thought nothing else of it.
ten minutes later, jozjozjoz was sitting on the bed putting on lotion* and i was on the edge of the bed, channel surfing and watching espn. again, we heard someone trying to gain access to our room, only this time, the door opened*.
should i remind you that jozjozjoz was BUTTNAKED when we heard the door swing open*?
