denisb Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 10:00am- bored to death in my hotel room waiting to get kicked out as I am checking out today and flying to Grand Prairie from Edmonton at 5:45pm. Surf the net....life is good. 11:00 Do a web check in. Figure I'm going to lose my internet connection anytime as it's a 24hr service. 11:20 loose connection. Ah well will go print the web check in downstairs at the hotel business center. 11:50 Finally get the P.O.S. HP printer to print my web check in. 12:20 NOTICE MY FLIGHT IS AT 1:30 not 5:45 :o Airport 30 minutes away+rental drop off= not enough time. Race to the airport, drop off rental, get to Westjet counter where they inform me I have missed my plane. Choices: wait until 9 and try stand by or drive 5 hours to Grand Prairie (which is my next choice if I don't Make stand By) No problem I'll just go pick up my rental and extend it right? "The rental is in the system we can't pull it back out and we have no more rentals available" says the 9 months pregnant girl at the counter. If it wasn't that I might be charged for two murders I might have jumped the counter and wrung someones neck. So another rental company gets me a rental and I'm off for a 5 hour jont to GP. And I am now writing this story in the hotel lobby because the wireless does not work from my room. Looks like I won't be checking my loto tickets tonight. Ah well tomorrow is another day!
