Always a question. . .

Sometimes, even after a guest leaves, they have questions. This was a bit more of the serious nature and it came more than two weeks after the guests left Tree Houses.

The other night, there was a phone call here, and on the other end was a guest that had stayed with us at the beginning of March.

She was sobbing; her rental car had broken down and she and her boyfriend were stranded in no-man's land on the Caribbean side of the country. Not exactly an ideal situation to be in, with darkness setting in quickly.

She was panicked and wanted some help. We are about 5 to 6 hours from where she was at, and the rental car company was on its way, though it had a ways to drive as well.

We got on the phone and started making calls, including to the rental company, and to make multiple phone calls and broken conversations short (their primary language was German, ours is English, the rental agency is Spanish) they were picked up safe and sound.
