Honeymoon Insanity....

If you didn't know, Dan and I are heading to Europe for our honeymoon. When we first booked everything, we were going to be leaving the day after the wedding (aug. 30) and coming back on 9/11 (nice day to fly, right?). A few months ago, a lady from the travel agency called. She informed us that our Travel Agent, Christine, was out due to an illness in that family. She gave us news that b/c of the "economy" our tour got axed and we were getting moved to the next tour, which leaves on 9/2. That would get us back on 9/13, which meant we were missing Dan's cousin, Melissa's, wedding. After talking to Mel and knowing she was fine with it, we decided to go along with this tour. I was overly angry b/c I have to go back to work the next day (9/14) but would suck it up anyway. The great thing about the change was we would have non-stop flights both ways!! A few weeks ago, I get a notice from the travel agent that our returning flight had been changed. US Air does not fly from one of the airports straight to Phila anymore... GREAT! This gave us a layover for 2 hours and would not get home until like 8pm that night. I was livid. Dan called and spoke to Christine, because she was back at work. He basically told her how unhappy we both were and she expressed how she felt bad about the whole tour getting switched and flight craziness. She told Dan to give her a few days to see what she can do. Fast forward til Tuesday- she called and said that we now have a non-stop from Hethrow to Phila! We leave there at 1:05 and get home at 4:20 (our time)...
To make a long story short, it was not Christine's fault all this happened. It was the tour people and the damn airlines! All I am saying is that after all this madness, the honeymoon better be worth it!!!
