Trip Cancelled!

 There's no such thing as confirmation!

Well yesterday I said I didn't believe in signs and when all my booking was confirmed, I felt justified.

Fast forward to today. 

It's 12:28 and the lodging place is calling to tell me that my credit card has been flagged. Can I do a wire transfer.

I just want to emotionally eat right now.

Uber is 1 min away.

I scheduled a pick-up for 12:30 for my flight leaving at 2:30p.

I can't get the money together before I land in Seattle. Nor do I really want to do a wire transfer.

Remember how I said when there's difficulty, it usually means I need to stop and look around.

Well. I'm not sure what's in store but I really hope it's not another infestation or flood or something even worse with the house. I'm pretty sure something is going to go on with the house.

Anyway, I said pass on the wire transfer because I really don't have the money (didn't tell them that). And they agreed to cancel and refund my money.

That's good I guess. I wouldn't expect anything else, but at least I didn't have to fight it. 

So and just yesterday I was patting myself on the back for not paying to upgrade to a refundable ticket since my lodging was confirmed. Ha!

Luckily, one screen said I might get to use travel credit. Don't know when that expires. But I also get a $200 statement credit. So I'm really only out about $200. Fine by me compared to the $7k+ I was about to drop in a few days once charges cleared.

Ah, perspective.

I'm too fired up to think or do work.

Gonna emotionally eat while this angst wears off.

Luckily, I'm within the 24 hour window to cancel my return flight as well (for a full refund)! Thank God for small miracles!

Should I book my trip to Boone or am I out-travelled for awhile?

Hot Girl Summer - fail! 

I'll need a few more acts of God of similar scale to get back on this horse.
