My trip from HAL (very long) and some final words for you all

[Nasmas]

Thanks for your kind words! We were just laughing last night because Tyler asked us if someone was going to drink his blood at his birthday party.

 

The trip insurance is going to be a real pain. Neither airline is stepping up to help me yet. Alaska says that we aren't even in their system (uh, could you check the passenger manifest???). American says they don't track Alaskan Airlines planes. It's sort of funny because I think they think I will just go away. hahahahahahahahah. Oh, trust me, folks, I will bring down your systems with hourly emails if I have to. I'm not going away.

I wouldn't either. I had a problem with Northwest once, when all flights were cancelled to FLL. We'd booked a cruise and had to cancel because of a hurricane, and NW was determined not to refund our money. After we sent a letter with my DH's letterhead (he's an attorney), we got a check within days. They will put you off as long as possible. Do you have a friend in the legal profession. A short letter might do the trick

Funniest cruise review I have ever read!

And to think I had been mulling over whether it is really necessary to fly in the day before our upcoming cruise because we have never had a major delay...yet.
