I haven't had a laugh like that in a while! You definitely got a good story out of that "retreat". My friend and I had a similarly eerie stay in an Australian hostel once.
Everything that goes wrong makes a good story! That's what I told the client whose kid birthday party got 'rained out' by the sprinkler system that failed to be deactivated by the appropriate personnel at the park where they booked the event. It was for sure a PITA, but they got all kinds of ass-kissy comps in exchange for their suffering, so in total it was an upgrade. In dad's opinion, anyway - the mom was sobbing. Even she will benefit - maybe after a few years - from this completely unforgettable incident that can unite their family with good-natured bitching for the rest of their lives. For Kendalls (my people) this is like losing a dime and getting a hundred dollar bill.
