I’m not talking about worries. We have actually booked a serious number of
reservations. 7 hotels, a car rental and
4 separate flights.
I have been using the internet to make on-line
bookings since 2001 when I booked several campsites across Canada. It was rather novel then, and we were amazed
to arrive in Washington State and fine our names posted on our assigned
campground site. Since then I’ve booked
hotels in Israel, Egypt, Italy, Spain, France and of course the US. So far we’ve never had a total fail.
Well - there
was that room in Paris in 2005 that had paint peeling off the wall, and the “Queen”
bed was two twin beds – OF DIFFERENT HEIGHTS – pushed together. But they had our reservation.
And another near miss was in Elat Israel in 2010. This was before car GPS was common and I had
printed out Google map directions for each hotel. Unfortunately Google let us down and directed
us to the wrong address. It was after
sundown on Friday night (Sabbath), and everything was closed. We didn’t have a detailed local map and we had
to drive around until we found the hotel with the correct name. We arrived late, but they also had our
reservation.
I guess the more we travel, the odds are higher that
we might run into a snag. Hopefully all
our bookings for this trip are made correctly.
Think I’ll go recheck them for the 10th time....
Actually, this is a practice post on my travel blog. Leave a comment so I know if you received it.
