And we are....WERE....off!!

Announcement over loud speakers: "I am sorry folks but we have over sold this flight, if there are any that would be willing to give up their tickets we are offering a $200 travel voucher. Thank You"

*Kasey walks up to podium*

after hearing Christmas eve at almost midnight arrival option, decides to decline.

*Kasey changes mind again at thought of being able to bring her princess, aka Honey basically for free using a travel voucher*

tickets are changed at no cost with a $200 voucher given for both ticket changes. However due to the luggage already being loaded under the plane and it being time to take off, we are not able to get our luggage.

*Kasey changes mind for 3rd time and decides to board flight as orignally planned*

*Kasey boards plane....*

Kasey's ticket is a duplicate. Kasey's flight is COMPLETELY sold out. Flight has room for Damon, but not for Kasey. (I like this third person thing)

*Kasey de-planes*

Long story short (after the long story and 3.5 hours at airport) this is what we ended up with:
Depart 12/23 at same time and connection areas as original flight. EXCEPT we are now in First Class *woohoo*
Honeys ticket is paid for (one way) by Delta. (we only have to pay for one of two ways...PTL)
$200 in travel vouchers each i.e. $400 buckaroos
a check from Delta, one for Damon and one for myself at almost $ 150 each. This wasn't a voucher either but is to be used however we want.
And laslty we are getting comp. lunch vouchers for tomorrow while we wait.

Estimated total between vouchers and checks:
$814. Cha-Ching....GO DELTA!

So the moral of this story...we leave tomorrow, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh okay, NOW I get it. Well I hope you are there by this time. I couldn't get in your blog this morning for some reason. I love the snow. It's the closest I'm gonna get but that's okay with me cuz of asthma. Hope you have a really good time. Give your mom a hug for me!
