No one said traveling with a child is easy. But then traveling on the airlines is not easy either. Savannah and I were at the airport at 6am Wednesday for our flight. We got on and went from Orange County to Seattle. We arrived about noon/12:30 and took a few trams to get to our connecting flight. Since the flight didnt board until 3:10pm we figured we would get something to eat and of course get Savannah a T-shirt for the city. We were back at the gate at 1:40 and we sat. When 3:10 came and went I got a little antsy. I asked the lady at the counter and she said that the flight was delayed. She made an annoucement a little later letting us know that the flight from Victoria was running late. She then made another annoucement every 20-30 minutes. At 5:30 she let us know that all the 500 design airplanes were grounded and we were not going out. So we proceeded to take three tram rides to the C area of the airport to stand in a neverending line. Finally when we got up to the counter, Savannah was asleep, and I was told that there were no longer any hotel rooms except at a hotel 6 type hotel. It probably rented by the hour. I wouldnt know since I was just interested in getting the hell out of there. Reservations for Friday were given to us since I refuse to fly at 7 am or 11pm with Savannah. It just wasnt fair to her.
I stayed with a friend up in Tacoma and had a pretty good time, considering the lady I talked to at the airport Wednesday decided to give Savannah a flight Friday and not me. So I had to be on the phone with them, then I proceeded to call Horizon Customer Service. Yeah we couldnt call and complain until after our trip was over. So I have to pick up a cell today and call these people back and let them know how STUPID and INCONSIDERATE they are.
So friday we get up at 5:45 to catch our 9:00 flight to Vancouver. Then we proceeded to walk a million kilometers (see learning a bit of canadian already eh) to our connecting flight to Victoria. Savannah got a really cool shirt from Vancouver. We ended up getting our flight and exchanging some money to the Canadian Monopoly money. It is actually pretty interested.
With Savannah and the lugage we got the rental car and came to the hotel. Then we went to see my friend's kid Nic, who gave us our house key and showed us where it is. Yeah.. I am talking to the land lord today.
See the house was suppose to be complete by time we got here on Wednesday even though we paid for it September 1st. It is not finished. And it is filthy. So my friends husband, Savannah and I are going to deal with this issue today. If it is not resolved and cannot be resolved before I check out of the hotel Monday then I am going to get the deposit and money back and figure things out from there. Either find a cute little apartment (which most of you know I am against apartments) or just cut my loses go home and regroup. Maybe move up to Seattle/Tacoma/Portland area. But I will figure this out of course in a timly manner and see what will best fit Savannah and I.
I dislike it to get to this part but things just arent what they should be right now and I am overwhelmed with the issues that are coming up. I mean seriously the house should have been finished. But alas it is time to take Savannah to breakfast.
I wish I could have given happy news,
Leanne
