Ukuhleka yonke indlela eya e-Opryland.
Into engelona nto eyenzekayo kum yonke yam iminyaka yokuhamba yenzeke kwi-Opryland Hotel. Ndacwangciselwe ukujongana neqela le-American Express ehamba ngeehambo apho malunga nesihloko sokuhamba ngeklasi lokuqala. Ngokungahambi kakuhle, ndaqhekeza inzwane phambi kokuba ndihambe ekhaya.
Kwiintonga, ndaya e-Nashville, eTennessee ndaza ndenza indlela eya e-Opryland Hotel. Emva kokubhalisa e-Opryland, ndacela unobhala wokubhalela ihotele kwimilo yam, eyayifikile phambi kwam.
Ndayifundiswa ukuba ndihambe ngaphaya (ukudibanisa kwakufana nayo) kwideski ye-bellman. Kulapho ndaxelelwa ukuba yonke imithwalo yayigcinwe kwirejista ende. Ndiphosa ngenceba ye-bellhop encinci yehotele, ndacela ukuba ayifumane.
Ndamnika inkcazo yecandelo: "Isibhakabhaka esinesibhakabhaka esinevili, i-nylon parachute, u-Amelia Earhart."
Ukuthatha iFlyer
I-Opryland Hotel bellhop ngokufanelekileyo yenze indlela yakhe phantsi. Emva kwemizuzu embalwa wabuya, evakalisa ngokuziqhenya, "Hayi ufumene imithwalo yakho, Miss Earhart."
Kwakungowokuqala, kodwa kungekhona i-fiasco yokugqibela yokuhlala kwam kwi-Opryland Hotel. Ukutshintshela i-duffel yam phantsi kwirejista ende, ende, ende ende, ndaqonda ukuba igumbi lehotele lalikude kakhulu ne-elevator yokuthuthuzela. Ndabiza idesksi yangaphambili ukuba ndicele igumbi elinendawo engcono, kufumaneka ukukhubazeka xa kunokwenzeka.
Isiqingatha seyure kamva, ideskiti yangaphambili e-Opryland yabuya yandixelela ukuba yiphi igumbi lokuya kuyo. (Ngaba lo yiRitz-Carlton okanye ihotele yeeNkwenkwezi ezine, ndiqinisekile ukuba umntu uza kuza kundinceda.) Ndizibuhlungu, ndabuya kwiintonga zam, ndabuyela phantsi kwindlovu ende, ndaza ndenza indlela kwigumbi elitsha.
Omnye umntu odibana naye wadibana nam, wanikela isitshixo, washiya.
Ndikhathele, ndinekranky, kwaye ndagxininisekile, ndakhupha isihlalo sedeski ndahlala phantsi - kwaye yanikela phantsi kwam kwaye yaphula. Ndaqala ukukhala, kwaye iinyembezi zam zahleka. Yintoni enye enye inokungahambi kakuhle kwi-Opryland Hotel? Impendulo yaba yinto: Akukho nto.
