Ch-ch-ch-changes!
Ugh - this vacation thing is starting to annoy me!
First we booked a hotel - Fiesta Banana - we liked it. It looked clean, newish, nice, close to the beach but quiet, nice jungle-y green stuff around it, restaurant & bar on site. Then 5 days later we got an email saying - oh, um, The Fiesta Banana actually didn't have rooms for all the days we needed...did we want the alternative. So, I called Mexico (yes, the whole country) on Saturday to say - sure we'll take the alternative and that's fine. It's on the beach, it has a bar, rooms with a/c - perfect. Last night we still hadn't gotten a CONFIRMATION that we had that room for the full 7 nights. So I wrote them a *pleasant* email saying - could you please let us know what is happening - thanks. And today the Boy called and left a message and we were waiting waiting waiting. When I was home at lunch time the Boy was on the phone with the travel agent and he was offering us another alternative as of course the 2nd choice alternative didn't have rooms for all 7 nights! Argh!!!! This alternative is gorgeous, higher priced but whatever....so as of NOW - we have a room for 5 nights...still waiting for the last two nights to be confirmed. Ack! At least we're making progress. I didn't know vacationing was so damn stressful.
Oh - and our airport transfer now picks us up at the airport 5 days after we've already been there. Slick, real slick. Needless to say I won't be recommending this travel site to anyone.
