The VRBO commercials annoy the heck out of me. I've always said each letter and could swear I've always heard it pronounced this way. I cannot come to grips with saying "vrrrbeau". I just will not say it that way. It sounds like crazy talk to me! It's kind of like SUB - just can't get used to it.![]()
I did just see one of those commercials! And said "huh, really? that's not a thing"
It was pronounced as V R B O, I guess they're trying to be hip now![]()
So glad it's not just me!
Guys, I’m so upset I’m not sure what to do. As mentioned here last night, there was a tragic crash of 2 floatplanes full of tourists in Alaska yesterday. I booked a floatplane tour for us on our cruise in 2 weeks. While I’m really sad and upset for those that lost their lives, I also don’t know what to do about our tour. I booked thru Chase portal with URs, 55,000 Points, and it’s non-refundable. So do I cancel and move on? Or suck it up and go?
Honestly, I'd call and see if you can cancel it due to the crash yesterday and say you're concerned about safety. I know it's through Chase and it might take a HUCA but I would try. Is your rez with the same company? If it is I'd use that and that you aren't even sure they'll have planes/be flying then and you want to cancel. I know it's an unfortunate and sad situation and it's not that you want to exploit it, but still safety and peace of mind and all. Worst thing is they'll say no. But I'd call today while it's all still fresh in people's minds.
