Gonna be a fun trip
« on: September 06, 2015, 08:47:30 AM »
 Everything has been going so well, got a great price from the Turks for the flight;  Booking.com next, found a terrific apartment with a very good price ($183.00 for six nights) and booked it; Hotels for my layovers going and returning in Istanbul. Booked.  All this done in mid-July. 
I'm kind of a poor guy and have to count my pennies, but got a nice $400.00+ check from an old dormant bank account I filed to reclaim a couple years ago.  Ready to start packing my bags for the trip, no problems, no hitches! 

Then, last Friday the I opened this email:  "Good evening!
My name is Irina. I'm an administrator of Dnepr Welcome Apartments you have booked from 11/09/2015 till 18/09/2015.
Unfortunately, since 05/09/2015 this apartment is out of business. We stop our work until the January, 2016.
Could you please cancel your booking of our apartment on Booking.com. We are sorry for these inconveniences and are thankful for your understanding."

What the hell, I thought, then realized that the dates were wrong, I'm booked for the 18th through the 24th.  No problem!

Wrong.

About an hour later, this one: 
"Sorry, the previous letter is not yours!
Good evening John!
My name is Irina. I'm an administrator of Dnepr Welcome Apartments you have booked from 18/09/2015 till 24/09/2015.
Unfortunately, since 05/09/2015 this apartment is out of business. We stop our work until the January, 2016."

Ya know, nearly every letter I ever got was a "Dear John" and a few were really  "Dear Johns", but this is the first time I ever got one from a business that I was a potential customer of!  To put it mildly, just a bit peeved but not panicked, still time to find another crash pad. 

Contacted my lady, but she has not got a clue, she is as new to the dating game as I am. 

Back to booking.com.  With less than two weeks to go, the selection is greatly diminished.  Due to physical limitations, I need a place with an elevator or on the ground floor.  Good effing luck!   Hotels are out, because my lady refuses to pay admission at the desk to visit me, and I don't blame her.  She IS a lady, not a local hooker!

Then, hallelujah, a miracle!  A well rated apartment came open in the city center (Dnepropetrovsk) and I grabbed it!  Good price as well!
Now on pins and needles, hoping for the best, but waiting for the next shoe to drop.....twelve days to go!

What could go wrong?  More to come.

John

 
Old ain't dead, but it don't feel good getting old.  Pain is nature's way of telling me I'm still alive!
