Fire in Den Haag

I spent four business days in Den Haag, Netherlands with an international client at their corporate headquarters. After a few great days of meetings and lovely dinners out with co-worker friends I did not think the trip could get much better!

I returned from an amazing dinner Friday night to my hotel looking forward to a relaxing agenda of tourist activities the following day. I was met at the hotel front doors by the manager who quickly proceeded to tell me that the television in my room had spontaneously combusted and burned my room away. In shock, but relieved that I was completely safe, I learned that nearly almost all of my belonging had been destroyed. Thankfully, my jewelry, passport and computer were in the safe and had been spared!

All in all, it was still a worthwhile trip, and I am thankful to the NH Den Haag Hotel for their professionalism and kindness in dealing with the situation. In addition, I want to thank all of the incredible people in the Den Haag client office who came to my side when the going got tough.
