So...
I get an email tonight from La Quinta telling me what cities have double and triple points this month. I happened to notice the start date for my membership in their rewards program 3/7/09. This is a night/morning I remember well.
We, my DD you will meet at DAP, were staying the night before catching a 6:00 am flight the next morning for our first mother/daughter trip. I was very nervous because the next morning was when the clock's changed for daylight savings time. I drove the desk clerk crazy asking about their back up system because of the time change.
That night before going to bed DD and I had a discussion regarding whose cell phone to set as the back up alarm. We chose DD because my blackberry never seemed to change time automatically.
So, DD's phone goes of at 3:15, I take my shower, DD gets in the shower and I turn on the TV - you guessed it, at this time it was now 4:40. The shuttles to the airport run at 4:50 and 5:20 (we were to take the 4:50). I checked the phone - tried to call the front desk - no dial tone.
I rushed DD out of the shower but we missed the shuttle. Had to drive to the airport, got there at 5:15 and then had to wait in security. They would not let us through. As we finished security last call for our flight could be heard - off running we go - we ended up getting on the flight at 5:50.
So should I take the chance and stay at La Quinta again - 7:00 flight on the 30th??
