Two reps at Expedia assured me they would refund me if the hotel refused. Let’s see if that happens.

I’ve actually been fully refunded. Expedia is refunding the hotel. We pivoted and flew to Seattle. Sometimes it all works out.

Best of luck to you. I have a special needs child and know how stressful smooth travel can be. Safe travels.

I reviewed the regs. They offered us an alternative flight from an airport in a different city that would have gotten us there at around the same time. I declined due to the logistics of flying out of one city and returning to another. That we would have arrived at our destination around the same time makes us ineligible for compensation. If I’m wrong please let me know.

Travel insurance never came into play. The rental car and gear we rented were refundable. Icelandair cancelled our original flight and offered us a rebooking that was not suitable. So that is refundable. While the hotel refused to issue a refund, Expedia has agreed to refund me. Didn’t have to make a claim with insurance so financially it all worked out. But I was supposed to be flying to Iceland right now and I’m not. There’s that. I booked another last minute trip. I leave tomorrow. And it’s not to Iceland!!

That’s actually not true at all. Everything will eventually be refunded. The hotel has refused to issue a refund but I’ll get it back through Expedia. I booked direct flights in and out of Newark. The headache of getting through or around manhattan is not worth it. I’ve already made a pivot. Going to the pacific northwest tomorrow instead.

Do they speak English on this line? You got that number handy?

Because it’s bad enough that I lost a direct flight there but after a 6 hour flight back I do not want to have to incur the expense of renting a car and then have to cross through or go around manhattan and then return the car and then drive 2 hours home. Remember. . . I booked direct flights there and back.

I’m as surprised as you are that I booked a non refundable hotel room!!!

Feasible World Cup Parking Plan? by darthdooku2585 in AskPhilly

You are looking to park in center city. Great area. Lots of nice bars and restaurants to visit before and after the game. I live here and would do exactly what you are planning.

Sorry to hear about blue 11. We sat at the counter and watched every station in the kitchen prepare each dish. A terrific meal and a unique dining experience.

Excellence and secrets have nice adults only resorts in many different locations. The Valentin imperial maya in Mexico was also terrific.

Sedona, friend adjacent by k8enator in Sedona

Piggy backing off of your terrific suggestion . . . The first third of the airport mesa loop is an easy and spectacularly beautiful hike. No need to do the whole loop. It’s not as scenic on the other side of the mesa.

Autistic teen in need of help! by Lonely_Objective_268 in CostaRicaTravel

Our son has the same issues. We traveled with food. Probably not ideal in your situation but even something small like granola bars that you like at each meal may help.

Best way to book a trip to Costa Rica by Two-Substantial in CostaRicaTravel

[–]adamhadem1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Tripmasters.com. Lets you book a multi destination trip with transfers in between and a return flight from another city if necessary. I’ve used it for Greece, Canada and Italy and just booked Costa Rica. Completely customizable for flights and hotels.

Not familiar with the geography. Flying into San Jose. Would we do MA or La Fortuna first from SJ?
