The long civic holiday weekend is over, thank goodness.  Today I decided to book my trip.

Usually I do not book through a travel agent, but decided to this time given that this is a package and I will be at the mercy of the tour company if anything goes wrong.  I figure it is worth the little extra to have a real live agent on the back burner.  Well I needed her already. Horor or horrors, trip sold out. When she found out my date was sold out she called the tour company direct and put in a request.  It seems that there are seats on the flight, but that all the rooms the tour company had 'bought' were sold out.  I will know within 48 hours if I get the hotel, dates, and the same price.  If they give me the same trip, I am committed to it and my credit card will be charged immediately.

On the other hand, just in case I don't get it, I am researching other hotels.

Now it's wait and see???
