Settled in @ the Posada

After an uneventful flight from USH, AR1887 landed at EZE close to its scheduled arrival of 9:45p. We deplaned onto the tarmac and were transferred to domestic arrivals by bus.

It took awhile for the bags to show up, but once the conveyor belt started moving it wasn’t too long of a wait for our bags to arrive in quick succession.

Next step was to call the hotel for the included transfer. We tried the number we were given several times — using WhatsApp and WePhone — but got no answer. It was already past 10:30p, so we decided not to wait around.

Arranging for a ride at the Taxi Ezeiza stand just outside the secure luggage claim area, we had a speedy drive to Posada de las Aguilas (Inn of the Eagles). The good news is that when we explained that no one had answered the phone, the woman at the front desk apologized and immediately refunded the cost of the ride to us in cash, so we are not out of pocket for that expense.

Assigned to room 11 on the first floor — top floor of this place — we left the two bags we won’t be needing at the check-in desk and followed our escort through the grounds to our room … which has everything we could want for an overnight stay. Because we have an evening flight tomorrow, I booked us a superior king room so we have a comfy place to kill time. We have requested a late checkout, but won’t know until we go down for breakfast as to the actual time we have to leave. It is dependent on availability of the room.

In any event, it is now past midnight and time for bed. We have no intention of setting the alarm for tomorrow morning. Breakfast is served until 11:00a, so we can have a leisurely morning.

By the way, we got a nice surprise when we landed and cell service was once again restored. We have been upgraded to Polaris business for our flight to Houston tomorrow night! Thank you United!Read more
