Home (Long)

Home but not without a lot of drama!!

We got to the airport 2 hours early and waited, then 10 minutes before boarding time of there is a delay, maintenance needs to work on something. Then an hour later, we have to fly another part from another city it will be another hour. Then 30 minutes later, oh no we will just rebook you all. So we waiting in line to get re booked and with 3 people it's not as easy to rebook especially when one of them is a child. Soooo

4 hours later we get on an airplane and finally get to where we were headed.

Then we had a great time for 3 days, then the rest of the family showed up and while it was great to see them, every person was extremely sick and coughing even the baby, who of course was up all hours of the day and night. They then proceeded to make everyone in my family sick but me and DS.

So now we can't do anything we had planned since DH was sick as a dog and couldn't breathe and couldn't sleep, and personally he just needed to rest because I didn't want him sick for the return flight.

DS basically spent the vacation on the Xbox, I spent it reading books and shopping for getaway time.

Oh yea, the return trip. Sooo

We get to the airport and oh guess what they don't have our reservation. I said you should I have confirmation number right here, so I pulled out my Ipad, pulled up Expedia and showed him.. Seems when they re booked our flight down here they just decided to CANCEL the rest of the bookings, so no plane ride home. We patiently waited while the wonderful man tried to find us a flight, again no small feat with 3 people one of which is a child. So finally he finds us a flight the next day, BUT not getting into our area until 1 am and then we have a 2 hour drive home, oh did I mention I had to work that day at 6 am, well that wasn't going to happen so I had to call in since we were stuck.

I will be sending our airline a nice email telling them they will be reimbursing me either ALL the money I paid for our flights or for my day of lost wages which by the way is More then the cost of the flight since it happened to be a holiday and I get paid time and a half.

I'm so ready for a vacation from my vacation from hell......
