Beebee asks another question

After using the internets to find a way to go around the world with Beebee, Pati sat happily in his chair. Just he was about to doze off, Beebee came to him and said "Pati, where will we sleep when we go around the world?" Pati scratched his beard and thought. Finally, he looked at Beebee and said "Well, we are here now and when we go around the world we will still be here so I assume we will sleep here."

Beebee blinked. Then she sighed and gave Pati a very sad look. She said "Pati, even though we are here and we will be here we will not be here many days. We need places to sleep!" This troubled Pati because he does not want Beebee to be sad. He said "Is this what makes you sad Beebee?" Beebee took a deep breath and said "No Pati, there is something I hoped would change and now realize It will not" as she stared intently at Pati.

Pati was just about to ask Beebee what she wished to change when he saw a squirrel run by his window. Now he sighed. If Beebee was right, he would miss that squirrel. When he turned back to Beebee he realized he had forgotten his question. He decided it must have been something about the squirrel and he would ask Beebee later when he remembered it.

To find places to sleep around the world, Pati looked at the TripAdvisor tube of the internets. The TripAdvisor tube told Pati there were four categories of lodging: hotels, bed and breakfast, specialty lodging, and vacation rentals. Pati loves breakfast so he picked "bed and breakfasts." Pati then sorted the b&b's by ratings and only looked at places with five circles which means most people love them. Then Pati read the reviews for the places at the top of the lists. They either said "I had diarrhea and I hated this place!" or "I did not have diarrhea and I loved this place!" Pati wondered if he could ask for a room without diarrhea but was worried that might not be polite. He would have to ask Beebee later.

The TripAdvisor tube on the internets told Pati that these would be the best rooms:
  • Essex House, Miami Beach, Fl for 2 nights at $233/night
  • Carnival Destiny, Balcony Suite for 16 nights (disembarking in Rome rather than Venice Italy)
  • Daysleeper B&B in Rome for 2 nights at 79 Euros/night
  • Cairo Downtown Hotel for 4 nights at $38/night
  • MS Domina Prestige Nile cruise for 7 nights
  • Walton's Homestay in Kochi India for 8 nights at 2000INR/night
  • Blackbery Resort in Munnar India for 1 night*
  • Heritage Madurai in Madurai India for 2 nights*
  • Green Woods Resort in Thekkady India for 1 night*
  • A houseboat in Alleppy India for 1 night*
  • Shanghi Mansion Botique in Bangkok Thailand for 4 nights at $141/night
  • Golden Mango Inn in Siem Reap Cambodia for 4 nights at $25/night
  • Surin Park Hotel in Phuket Thailand for 6 nights at $170/night
Pati bought the rooms marked with an * from a tour company that the TripAdvisor internet tube said was the best one in Kochi. He also got a car and a driver to keep him and Beebee safe.

After finding places where he and Beebee could sleep, Pati sat comfortably in his chair again. Then he sat bolt upright! He knew why Beebee was sad. She would miss the squirrel too and wanted to change missing it! To make Beebee happy, he decided to sneak the squirrel into her suitcase so it could go with them on their trip. Pati couldn't wait to see the look on Beebee's face when she found the squirrel!
