Honeymoon .. who knew?!

The other day Ron and I were talking about how Aloha Airlines went bankrupt. We both said that it would be crazy if that happened to us.

The next day I was watching the news while I was getting ready for work..and low and behold .. ATA is out of business. My jaw dropped and in my mind I said, "No freakin' way!" and laughed. I called Ron right away and told him the news.

The news didn't really scare us as much as I think it would have if we hadn't talked about it the day before.

I emailed our travel agent right away...and his response..

"I just got off the phone with Pleasant Holidays and found out what your options are. I wish I had better news, but the least expensive alternative flight is on United Airlines around the time you were initially going, for $257.00 more per person.....that price includes the credit from ATA airlines plus the fare difference from United flights, which are the cheapest option. For a little less additional of $227.00 per person, you can leave in the early evening, at 6:50pm, arriving in Hawaii at 9:24pm..... I'm sorry to say the recent Airline bankrupcies and shut downs aren't totaly refundable or protected, the airfare portion is simply credited to any other airlines that have available flights.........I did everything possible to avoid any additional charges, but didn't have any luck..... I will continue to see if anything else will work, but that unfortunately might be the best way to fix this unusual and unexpected circumstance..... I'm sorry guys for the inconvience and addtional charges.....I will give you two a $100 travel voucher for any other trip you take in the future, which will hopefully ease the pain a
little......"

*sigh*

We already shelled out alot of $$ for our honeymoon. What's another $500? Well .. it's $500!!!!!!

So I don't know what we're going to do. =/

The Honeymoon

Our honeymoon is finally booked! One thing out of my hair! Wahoo!

ALOOOOOHA!

We will be going to Maui for 6.5 days and Oahu for 3.5 days. We leave the 21st and come back the 31st. I can't believe we'll be gone that long. We couldn't resist the offer cause they gave us one night free in Maui and one in Oahu.

We'll be staying at the Sheraton Maui Resort and the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa. The cool thing about the Hyatt is that for an extra $3 a night we get to be part of the Regency Club. Meaning breakfast, cocktails, etc. are included. The thing I love about our whole package is that breakfast is all covered. We're probably spending and arm and a leg, but man, I think after 9.5 years, we deserve this Honeymoon.

I'm excited!
