Hi everybody! Geez... it took me forever to get on this board today. And I can't figure out why I only get some of the email posts. Oh, well...
The Dells weekend was fun but freezing! My souvenir was a big old head cold. Today it does seem to be getting better, though. DS did not go skiing - I think he was afraid to take a lesson alone. I can't ski - wasn't able to at 15, sure can't now. DH has never skiied - now would not be a good time to break a leg.
So, today, I get an email notification from Holiday Inn Priority Club that the reservation that I made for the 1st night in Florida in Winter Haven was no longer available for my points redemption since the hotel had been sold. So, the email says call as soon as possible to make other arrangements. I immediately call, get 2 people who don't know or want to know what to do, finally get a 3rd person who I wouldn't let off the phone until he figured this out. Hello...this is my first night in Florida after driving for a zillion hours, it is Spring Break, it is Spring Training, I made reservations in November and now I don't have one! One hour later, the person gets our account credited and a new reservation made at 5,000 extra points that I didn't have! I received the email confirmation. The room isn't as good as the original one booked and there isn't a free breakfast buffet but at least I have a reservation and it is closer to Spring Training. Just a momentary blip in my well thought out travel plans.
One more work day until the weekend. I can't wait for the warmer weather this weekend. Come on, spring!
