Chapter Nine

The air within Dublin was quite cool, typical of a morning in late fall. Skye leaned on the back seat to watch tall buildings, leafless trees and passersby speed behind them as the cab sped along the busy roads. Once the driver made a slow turn into Francis Street, Skye knew that they were only a few meters away from the hotel.

“I see that we’re closer to my dream holiday destination,” Mabel Foster said, her eyes fixed on the Google map on her tablet.

“It’s a weekend destination, mom.”

“But it seems to me like a holiday,” Mabel said. “You don’t know how long I’ve dreamed of spending at least one day here. To think that I will be spending two days here courtesy of my precious daughter’s generosity is simply amazing.”

Skye held her left hand, still smiling. “You deserve the best.”

Mabel held back her hand while looking into her eyes. “Thank you.”

The smile on Mabel’s face and the sparkle in her eyes were worth a million euros to Skye. She beamed a smile of contentment, knowing well that her mom was happy.

The driver turned right into the hotel’s main gate and stopped briefly at the security post for the routine check. Once cleared and given a pass, he drove in.

Mabel Foster who had been excited about the short trip couldn’t help noticing the magnificent billboard at the hotel’s main entrance gate and the welcome message it carried.

As they drove past the large expanse of land on which the hotel occupied, they took notice of the golf resort and the oil palm plantation.

“Those are an African species,” Mabel said, pointing at the palm trees. “They are so lovely.”

Skye followed her gaze. “Yes, they are.” They continued admiring the features in silence.

The car pulled to a halt in front of a fifteen-storey glass edifice. The edifice was bound on both sides by two buildings of similar height and architectural design. A glass half moon was attached to the middle building, giving it a slight distinction from the other two buildings.

“Wow,” Skye said. “This is lovelier than I expected.”

“It sure is. I’m glad to be finally here,” her mom said as she stepped out of the vehicle.

Two Irish ladies hurried towards the parked car from the reception. “Good morning ladies and welcome to the Grand Irish Hotel and Golf Resort.”

They offered to help them with their luggage.

“Thank you,” Mabel responded. Skye settled their cab fees and trailed behind the ladies alongside her mom.

The blonde receptionist confirmed their booking and handed them their room locks. She also handed them their itinerary for the next thirty hours.

“The ladies behind you will usher you to your rooms,” the receptionist said courteously. “Once again, welcome to the Grand Irish Hotel and Golf Resort. I wish you an exciting weekend.”

Mabel smiled. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” the receptionist replied courteously. The two ladies led them through the left broad corridor into the nearest elevators where they were taken to the seventh floor. They located their hotel room as quickly as they got to the floor.
