Writing exercise

When you planned a trip, especially you will take your family or your child together. So you need schedule your time and decide your hotel. You can’t set up a tent on the beach and spend all the time just lay down, don’t do anything. You are not Tony. On the other way, the waves will sweep you away.
Last weekend, I choose our hotels of Bangkok and Hua hin. It’s a hard work and it killed my brain cells. There are too many hotels to choose from, more than 500 hotels I have been reviewed, I don’t know what’s the best. Like you can’t take both.
If you choose the best location, may be the traffic noise is too loud. If you choose the best hotel environment, may be the location is far away people. So before the price inflation, I decided the hotels. Just everything is middle.

If you choose the best location, maybe the traffic noise is too loud. If you choose the best hotel environment, maybe the location is far away from people. So before the price goes up, I picked the hotels. Just everything is ok, not the best.
