2. A long awaited vacation. We already got 'canceled' out of two hotels and had to change from a

private van to a plane flight due to earthquake damages.

4. Did you pay for everything already? nt

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Oh, yeah! And then an extra $150 for the plane flight that wasn't originally in the deal!

We do have comprehensive travel insurance.
