Not the way to start a holiday

[RPJS]

My neighbour has just phoned me from Florida. He has just arrived at his hotel having been traveling for for almost 20hrs, to find that there has been a mess up with his booking and his wife has left the booking conformation at home.<br /><br />It is 1.00am over here and I have just had to get out of bed, go to his house, find the conformation, scan it into my PC and email it to the hotel.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I have not got a problem with doing this for him (I know he would do the same for me) but WHY did his wife not take the holiday paperwork with them.<br /><br />I'm going to try to get back to sleep now.

Why is the sky blue? Why are people greedy? I just hope I have a friend who would do this for me.<br /> Give yourself a pat on the back. Excellent.

Honestly? <br /><br />Because people are stupid.<br /><br />I'm stupid.<br />You're stupid.<br />We are ALL stupid in one degree or another-or at some time or another. Quite how we got out of the swamps and evolved is beyond me.<br /><br />The trick in NOT appearing stupid is to learn through repeated foul-ups quite what preceeds an imminent SHT and to run away...

Yea, I guess I missed it also.<br />I don't think mine has one. If it does, I don't take it out.

The hotel should have the booking number.<br /><br />Either they have a room reserved for them or they don't. I don't understand how faxing them a number in the middle of the night is going to make a room miraculously available if there wasn't one when they tried to check in.

well, RJPS, your neighbor should have just called me, it was 7:05pm (that's 19:05 for you Europeans) when you posted, it would've been no big deal for me.

jtexas<br />I'll remember your offer next time, but don't you think it's a bit of a long walk to his house for you <br /><br />PW2<br />From what I understand he had booked through an agent to stay at International Drive, the hotel in question had him booked in at a different place about 30 miles away.

Orlando?....... INTERNATIONAL DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Not the way to start a holiday

Snapperbait<br />Not just Disney!! they've got a 7 day pass that gets them into all the parks in the area, with 2 kids I can see it being a FUN holiday. They are going to the gulf coast for 7 days after the parks for a bit of R&R, I get the felling 7 days just isn't long enough.

Re: Not the way to start a holiday

Seven days is good - takes 4 or 5 days to experience "the mouse". Throw a couple days at a water park in there to cool off & relax.
