Trip update!

Posted by Andie Sep 28 '23, 08:38

Okay, so, as mentioned my mother has covid and it seemed like my Norway cruise was off. (Booked to fly tomorrow.)

Due to the last minute-ness of it all, we would lose the whole cost of the cruise, except, maybe a few hundred for port fees.

my mother was feeling super guilty and wanted me to go anyway, by myself. but my mother was super sick up till yesterday and i wasn't going to leave if she wasn't getting better. Plus this was a trip we were taking for her, really.

Spoke to my best-travel-friend last night and she joked, "well, if you need roommate let me know."

This morning, spoke to my mother, she is *MUCH* improved, insists I go anyway. I said "Julie offered to be my rooomate, haha." My mom said "omg, if she can go, she should. So much better for you"

I call Julie at 8am this morning.

She says "Let me see if i can work out work, and get a flight on points."

She does get a flight (same as me). re work - her show is still striking, cause, SAG), so she can check in via email but all should be okay. Deals with her teenagers.

I contact the cruise line. they waive the name change fee.
We change our hotel in Copenhagen to something funkier and more central, she uses Marriott points.

Tomorrow night my friend and i going to Denmark and Norway.

This is not what i expected to be happening 3 days ago.
