Alvin put down the Bay River map when the light turned green. He enjoyed driving the berry red Saturn Aura. After the traffic light, he drove two miles to the entrance sign he was looking for. He turned into a huge parking lot. He drove up to the valet parking attendant. He got out and handed him the keys. " I have four suitcases including a heavy blue one". He gave him a small tip. " Could you please bring them in?".
Alvin walked through double sliding doors into what looked like a tropical paradise. To the right was the front desk. Palm trees dotted the lobby. He turned to see the valet bring in his suitcases on a rolling rack.
" Can I help you?" asked a young woman.
" Yes, a reservation for Alvin Walters".
" Are you here for the Hanscom Corporation convention?".
" Yes, I am".
The young woman stared into a computer screen.. " One queen size single room".
" Yes, that's fine".
" How long will you be staying with us?".
Alvin signed the registration card and handed it back. " Five days".
" Super". She handed him some keys. " You will be staying in Room 459". She pointed. " Just take the elevator to the fourth floor and turn right".
" Thank you".
