Princess Mary Hotel (Phoenix)

Jesse yawns and stretches out his arms after Lyndon taps his shoulder, waking him up from quite a deep sleep. He blinks his hair out of his eyes and looks out of the window, setting his eyes on the most beautiful hotel. He smiles at Lyndon, knowing already that this was going to be no ordinary trip.

"Wow, it's amazing." He says a little loudly, unbuckling himself from the coach seat.

At first, Jesse is shocked by the sudden impact that Lyndon had made landing on his lap. It was totally unexpected, but it woke him up from the still quite sleepy haze he had been in several moments ago. It feels like a couple of minutes before he actually reacts, but it is really only a couple of seconds. And he starts laughing.

"You alright?" He asks, trying to muffle the chuckles that had managed to escape his lips.

Jesse smiles down at Lyndon as he glances up, continuing to laugh with him. He knew that they couldn't stay like this forever, just sitting here on the coach laughing at each other, but it already seemed as if this little infinity had been created.

"Do you want a hand?" He asks him, offering his hand.

Linda turns to see Lyndon tapping on her shoulder, and nods as he asks her about leaving the bus.

"Yes, I'll tell everybody now," she tells him, taking the microphone from the coach driver and standing in the aisle. "Welcome to Arizona, everyone! We're here at the beautiful Princess Mary Hotel, where we will be boarding throughout this trip. As you get off the coach, you will be directed towards the main entrance. Inside is the welcome desk, where you will find a list of rooms reserved by our school. We have put together a boarding list, but long story short- the boys are in room 111, and the girls are across the hall in room 121. Once you find your name, you will be asked to produce your passport to prove your identity before receiving a key, which will get you in and out of your room. Female teachers will be staying in room 122, and male teachers in room 112. If you have any problems unpacking, please come and find one of us. You're free to roam about the hotel until dinner!" She tells the students, before sitting back down so that the aisle was clear for people to exit.

Lyndon watches as Jesse exits the bus, following suit. He passed the receptionist one of his passports, and she smiles at him as she reads the cover stating that it was a 'British and Northern Irish' passport. For some reason, that made everyone smile, although he wasn't sure why. Maybe they just like foreigners. She hands him his key, and he makes his way over to Jesse by the lift just as the doors slide open.

"Interesting place," he says admiringly.

Lyndon fakes offence, turning to face the wall of the lift as the doors closed on them. He did admit that he didn't really intend on giving his old passport, but it was still in date.

"It's still a valid form of identification until..." He flips open his passport, checking the expiration date, " ...March 11, 2022. So there's no reason not to." He shrugs it off, waiting for the 'ding!' as they reached floor 1.
