Last year, Jamie and I were meant to go to Costa Rica. We were set to leave on April 25 at 11:45AM (arriving at 6:34PM) and and return on April 30 at 6:10PM. We had to cancel. Jamie had to work.
Merrill Lynch reimbursed us for the travel expenses we couldn't get refunded, but we still had to miss out on Costa Rica. I was somewhat heartened by the fact that when I went to cancel my ticket, I was told that I actually could reuse the credit for other tickets. I thought: okay, so in the next year, this will happen.
When we decided to get divorced and it became clear that we would not be going to Costa Rica together, I started peeking around, looking for someone to go with. My cousin, Emily, and I finally decided that this was going to be our trip, and she checked that she could get time off of work - which she could - and today I finally made the call to Continental Airlines...
... only to find that they will not let Emo use the ticket at all. It's James or nothing.
I'm so disappointed. We were going to do it in February, between our birthdays (my 30th!) and it was going to be this big fun treat. I haven't been diving in AGES and we were going to do that, too. And the sun. And the beach. And mmmm.
Eugh. :(
Er, Costa Rica was ass? It was a horrible horrible experience. You should totally not read my live journal about it, as it would be totally redundant to this comment? Er, yeah... that's the ticket!
I'm very sorry, that sucks. :(
