We+chose+the+beach

After about an hour, Jason and I decided that it sounded like fun to go to the beach on our first weekend in Ecuador. We told the group of Norwegians that we would meet them there Friday after our class was done. We asked what city was it and what hotel to meet them at. They told us the name of the city was "Playas". Playa in Spanish of course means, beach. I knew we were going to the beach, so I kept asking where to meet them. They said the name of the place was Playas. I had been to Ecuador previously so I knew the so called, "Cancun" of Ecuador so I just assumed it was there. They gave us the name of the hotel, Hotel Arena Blanca, in Playas. We also got their cell phone number so we could call them when we got there. Also keep in mind, we did not have a cell phone. So, 11 o'clock on Friday rolled around and we headed to the bus station. We knew our first bus had to take us to Guayaquil but from there, we didn't know what to expect. We rolled into Guayaquil around 11:00 PM that night, and we didn't know if we should just hop on another bus and try our luck going to Salinas, the town I thought we were going to, or grab a hotel in Guayaquil for the night and see what happens tomorrow. What do we do?

A) Hop on a bus? B) Get a hotel for the night?
