Your girl has officially arrived at the AC Hotel in Detroit!
First things first, I have to give this hotel a huge shoutout because this is my second time staying here, and every single time I come, I absolutely love it. The atmosphere, the cleanliness, the location--it just feels like one of those places where you can settle in and breathe for a minute.
Now let me tell y'all how I thought I had everything together...
You know those moments when you've packed your bags, made it through the airport, landed safely, got your transportation figured out, checked into the hotel, and you're feeling real accomplished?
Yeah... that lasted about five minutes.
Because your girl forgot to call the bank before leaving town.
So there I am trying to use my card and suddenly it's giving me the "absolutely not" treatment. I'm standing there confused, looking at my card like, "Excuse me? We've been through too much together for this."
After a quick call to Navy Federal, I realized exactly what happened. They flagged the transaction because I was using my card in Detroit. Which, honestly, I appreciate because fraud is real. But baby... that 45-minute wait on the phone had me questioning my life choices.
All I needed was for somebody to say, "Yep, that's Destineé. Turn her card back on."
Once everything was sorted out and they got me back up and running, I headed to my room and took a moment to decompress.
And if you're part of the HS community, then you already know.
After traveling, walking through airports, carrying bags, and dealing with flare-ups, sometimes the greatest luxury isn't a fancy meal or a beautiful view...
It's finding a bathroom, getting comfortable, and letting your body rest for a few minutes.
So that's exactly what I did.
I unpacked a little, gathered myself, gave my body a chance to breathe, and got ready for everything the weekend had in store.
Because no matter what little hiccups happen along the way, we keep it moving.
Detroit, we're officially here.
And y'all already know...
It's Just How Life Goes.
