I had found the best place. It looked clean and safe. I clicked book it! and then I was informed that I could not proceed because that hotel had been booked up. So I went with option 2. Of course being me I had a backup plan!! Well guess what? Same thing already booked. So immediately I panic and start stressing out. You might as well have set my shoes on fire. I was pretty worked up. So Phillip told me to close the computer and step away and we would deal with it later and to go take a walk.
Today I came into the office and started my search again. I was able to find one I was looking for. I hurried through the process and forgot to look at the fine details!!! Rookie mistake! I had booked a room for a hotel that had two locations. I booked the one on another island. A 2 hour walk to work each day. I quickly cancelled my reservations and that was successful only I will get the $400's back in 5-7 business days!!! Oh my what had I done!! I quickly logged back on found the right hotel on the correct island and booked that one too. So now I have $800 dollars tied up in hotel rooms. Money was already a little tight so I made a financially critical mistake. In the end I will get the $400 back but we could have really used it now!! Oops. Needless to say the room is booked (twice) and that just adds comfort to my mind knowing that the plane and the room are booked. Now to wrap up everything here at home. We are still not packed and our apartment is still about 80% done. 6 days to finish it all up!
Stay warm, dry and happy
Love always
